what is your preferred post training carb?

[pinpoint5]

It always interests me to see the variety of crappy carbs people use directly after their training.

My favorite for off season is Pop-Tarts.

Typical offseason Post training meal:
2 pop tarts/ 50 grams carbs from Gatorade/ 2 scoops whey

Offseason leg day post training:
6 pop tarts/ 50 grams carbs from Gatorade/ 2 scoops whey protein

Pre-contest post training (regardless of the day)
12 oz sweet potato/ 2 scoops whey

What types of stuff do you guys use?

Make my own shake for post with slin. Dextrose is my main source of sugars.

I use blueberries, a bananna, and 1/2c oats. Seems to do the trick.

I actually use a cheap post workout recovery blend-

Dextrose- 45g
15g bcaa's
5g creatine
And some other random things

Rice. Pop tarts are good, but I would be a fat ass if I ate them. I have to watch my food carefully.

I might take some poptarts into the gym and start eating them towards the end of my workout between sets. Can you imagine the looks I'd be given by the crossfit guys?

I also love me a chick-fil-a sammich or two right after I lift (with waffle fries).

Always a classic. The dairy would kill me personally, but a great choice

Wow that's crazy man! You aren't missing much from NO explode. Never cared for that. Haha I could just imagine somebody getting a customs letter for trying to illegally import NO explode

I got a half gallon post workout this afternoon at walmart for $2.09. I drank half of it (1 quart) and have the other half in the fridge for next time. Basically, 32 oz (1 quart) equals 32 grams protein and 108 grams of carbs. It is not whey, but I am sure it is fine for my needs and a buck per quart is cheap protein.

How much do you pay for them? I found an online shop that import things from usa and they cost around 5+euro for a box... Pretty expensive
