S
just put in an order for 2.5kg unflavoured WPI. hopefully will taste ok with banana and peanut butter for my morning shake, dont really care what it tastes like in my pre and post workout shakes as long as it mixes half decent
David, I don't know where you get your unflavoured protein from, but it's always a good idea to insure that it's from down under or from our neighbours across the Tasman. May I suggest you mixing it with apple juice (if you like apple juice that is) if that was going to be your first protein shake of the day. After fasting, is the best time to take advantage of fructose, which will do an amazing job in replenishing liver glycogen after a night fast.
I don't know if you or anyone else here is aware; fructose is a sugar with a double edge sword like my favourite hormone of all, the mighty insulin. Fructose can NOT be converted into muscle glycogen; hence you will not find me recommending fruit after a workout when muscle glycogen replenishment is paramount. That’s why I asked Shammo to insure his after workouts banana are rip; indicating a high ratio of glucose to fructose and therefore an insulin spike. However first thing in the morning, a fruit juice full of fructose will be heaven for your liver's glycogen replenishment. That doesn't mean you can't have other carbs with it at that time, but it's always a good practice to have it at that time.
I hope I haven’t confused the issue here for you guys. If I have, then please disregard what I’ve written.
Fadi.
Im not going to disregard what you have written but admit to being slighty confused
Why is that fructose can not be converted to muscle glycogen??
thanks Fadi, yes the protein is from new zealand. my morning shake is the only one that contains fruit, i have 1 banana in it and a usually eat some more fruit in the morning. my pre and post workout shakes are purely protein and carbs.
