Sports + shakes

Just a quick question here,

Should you take you protein shake after some cycling/football/rugby like you do on weight lifting days? That is, a shake with a 2:1 ratio, 50g carbs, 25g protein.

Go raibh maith agat,

AB.

Thanks Dave.

For my shake there is only 1g of fat per serving, so it's pretty insignificant.

Ah okay, sorry about that. I ain't looking to lose any, quite the opposite way in actual fact.

Thanks.

Then at that point I would make sure you have some sort of simple carbs pre-during and post workout to help keep as much muscle as possible, basically read transforms posts in the what to have before a football game thread

I do jsb, I take 50g of glucose with my 25g serving of protein. Do you recommend glucose pre training?

me personally I prefer fruit before a workout, then glucose during, post workout I use nutrion X RAM (so dextrose). I would just say that if you are having 3(1 pre, peri and then post) shakes generally I wouldn't have a full serving per shake as that would be slightly overkill for my needs
