Since you attempting discredit my previous post it is required that you provide proof that I am wrong.
Protein is the source of energy that the body requires for building muscle, carbs and fat are either used as energy or stored as fat. Haven't you heard of the Atkins diet? Protein can be used as energy as well as the only thing that builds muscle.
Carbs are the fast source of energy, fat is the slower source of energy. Since muscle is protein if you want bigger muscles doesn't it make since to eat alot of protein.
I'm sure you know that a post excercise drink is highly recomended for building muscle. The question is why after working out and not before.
And how much carbs, fat and protein should the post excercise drink contain?
Every musclebuilding drink manufacturer will tell you that post exercise drink will stop catabolic activity why wouldn't milk? One cup of milk contains 8 grams of protein, 5grams of fat,11 grams of sugars. Drink two cups within 5 minutes after workout, I would like to research or any web site you can provide that would suggest this is wrong.
