-another UDO's question! Sorry!

[Guest guest]

I read on a forum in bodybuilding.com that you shouldn't have any fat following

a workout b/c it inhibits protein absorption. Is this true? I've been drizzling

my UDO's oil over my pancake that I eat after working out. It's really good, b/c

otherwise the pancake is a little dry. Just wondering if I shouldn't be doing

this or if it really doesn't matter and I'm overanalyzing things like usual! :-)

Ideally, you want quick-acting protein and high-glycemic carbs

post-workout. It's not the best time to have fat, but it won't have

much of an impact unless that's also when you're taking your creatine.

You don't want a big serving of fat within an hour of the creatine.

A big bodybuilder would want something like whey protein isolate and

white bread or grape juice immediately after a workout. The massive

insulin spike pushes the protein (and creatine) into the muscles

quickly. Fat would blunt the insulin response and slow things down.

If you're not having creatine post-workout, having fat in the meal

doesn't matter one way or the other.
