Would these be absorbed slower if they were uncooked? I usually drink my pre-wo shake 30 minutes beforehand consisiting of 1/2 liter bottled water, 30g whey, and 54g carbs of uncooked quaker steel cut oats. I need energy throughout my workout so will the carbs get absorbed slower if they're uncooked?
BTW-I just drink the oats without chewing because chewing uncooked steel oats is like chewing well, steel.

Oats before your workout = good. Oats after your workout = not so good. You need some simple sugars to spike your insulin so your body absorbs what is in your protein shake right away.

You can't get ANY solid food pre work out?
having a shake before and then after working out should be avoided IMO.
...but to answer your question oats are a relatively slower digesting carb, of course that will change if you blend them in your blender. I prefer to have some honey as my carb source in my post workout shake."Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort is necessarily shallow.

True in regards to steel cut oats but quick or instant have a higher GI to spike insulin levels.Originally Posted by Anabolik
Throwing a banana in is also a good idea IMOSi vis pacem, para bellum

Why should it be avoided? Assuming that solid food is eating with itOriginally Posted by Sluuug

Solid food > than any liquid meal. So if you're assuming that solid food is being eating with it, then you can disregard that commentOriginally Posted by Riel28

A pwo shake is for PWO purpose only and to restore AA's and Glycogen.. u wan something with high GI which would be dextrose or instant things that have some kind of sugars in them.. instant oatmeal is a great example, not 100% whole grain oats or steel cut.. sure blending them might raise the GI a buit, but they are still going to digest slowly
a banana is a decent gi source, it is still a fruit and contains some fructose which u do not want PWO but its kind of satisfactory
some other good high GI sources are powerade/gatorade powder, choclate milk has been thrown around a bit (not too sure)

So Instant Oatmeals (the ones that are ready to eat by just adding hot water) have higher GI and can be used but not uncooked steel cut due to the low GI? At least that's what I'm getting from this thread.

how about just avoiding the oats post work out
and post workout use honey"Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort is necessarily shallow.

I checked the GI of honey and they seem to be in the 70s-80s. Wouldn't drinking Gatorade (glucose) be better? Would Gatorade slow fat loss in any way due to the sugar content?Originally Posted by Sluuug

i usually drink whey/water and cup of boiled oatmeal before workout and a shake right after either muscle builder shake i get from the gym or abb mass recovery and usually throw in another whey/water ... with a later meal with veggies and chicken or fishi even eat raisin bread fk it some bodies respond different to foods if u run... ur sugars are no problem in ur diet unless its just crazy high everyday...

FYI. You can soak steel cut oats overnight and heat 1 to 2 minutes in microwave. You can then blend, eat or whatever. Just an idea....
