Default Post workout shakes

For the strength trainers:

I use ON whey shakes and they have 3 grams of carbs (1 gram of sugar).

What do you think?

Do you use real food post workout? I've always used a Protein shake to get the protein to my muscles the fastest. I've always been told that.

I also however, have never done a low carb diet. I am still working out pretty hard and need to have something post workout.

Please advise

THANKS Daisy,

I've heard some people on here say that shakes make them stall...but I dont really see any other option post workout.

The shakes don't stall me but the bars definitely do affect me so i just avoid them except in an extreme emergency! Good luck with your workouts, i do about 2 hours strength training on an empty stomach then have a shake and i'm fine.

I prefer my protein in a pre-workout solid meal, and then after lifting I have another regular meal. If you're not able to eat something solid prior to lifting, shakes are good because the protein gets into your system fast--within 15-20 minutes. Solid food takes longer--1-2 hours or so depending.

Your protein powder macros are fine. Just make sure you count the cals, etc. in your daily totals.
