Post Workout Carbs - Monday, February 23, 2009 7:02 PM ( #1 )

So I know that the body can only process roughly 50 g of protein at a time, so that is about what I take after workouts protein-wise, but how much should I be taking carb-wise. Right now I'm taking about 40-50 grams, but I don't have any idea what's appropriate, but I know that they are important post-workout.

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

You don't even want to know how much carbs I had after my workout today. 50g oats 30g waxy maize 45g from grape juice. That was all within 40 minutes after workout. I would think you could get away with a lot. I had a pretty draining workout and really felt like I needed a lot so I upped my carbs.
