In the hour or so after weight training, is it best to eat a meal high in protein, carbohydrates or both?

Researchers at the University Of Texas have shown that it is best to eat or drink a combination of carbohydrate and readily digestible protein within 30 minutes of finishing exercise, when there is a heightened ability to absorb these nutrients. The University's team showed that muscle glycogen was replenished with a Carbohydrate-Protein supplement drink 38% faster than with carbohydrate alone.

 

Also because muscle tissue has been broken down and ATP (energy) reserves have been depleted, taking L-Glutamine and Creatine will quickly satisfy the body's needs. Aussie Bodies Weight Gainer has been formulated with a combination of protein and carbohydrate, along with Glutamine and Colostrum and is ideal for that post-workout pick up.
