Oklahoma State in class

i was there that day

Isn't post workout shake a staple for recovery, and for recovery purposes doesn't a high glycemic carb and fast absorbing protein work better than traditional natural unprocessed foods at absorption. I am pretty sure that dextrose or maltodextrin will help replenish glycogen stores more quickly than say broccoli and hydorlyzed whey protien absorbs faster than say grass fed beef, or am I mistaken? Unquestionably natural food should be a staple but not post workout where nutrient timing is important for recovery. Insulin sensitivity only lasts so long after a workout.

eat protein until your kidneys start hurting and then back off some. I read some where that the NSCA recommends 2.2 grams of protein per lb of lean body mass so lets say the 200 lb guy was 10% BF that would mean 396 grams of protein per day. She is a dietician not a personal trainer she lives in a world outside of athletics so her recommendations may be skewed because of her background and the clients that she is used to working with.

It's a good thing John is just a coach and not a math professor.

haha...I half expected Smith to pull out a Chevy Chase quote from his old Gerald Ford presidential debate SNL skit .....ahhh "It was my understanding that there would be no math in this....."

Ya athletes actually need extra calories to keep up with their routines. Remember Michael Phelps was eating 10,000 - 12,000 calories a day just to keep up with his workouts.

it was an example.
she wasnt explaining the diet it was about supplements.
think before you talk

why wud she say steak for a good source of protien? she should be recommending leaner meats as turkey or chicken, egg whites ect...

GOD DANG!!! 6000 calories???

I want to see what's on those sheets of paper!
