which protein for post-workout and as supplement?

Hey people,  quick one. I'm really light, 5ft 6 and 51kg=112pounds
Well I just bought two types of protein powder.
One is the weight gainer.
one serving would be 16g of protein and about 64g of carbs.

Another is just whey protein.
one serving=22g protein and 1g carbs.

So my quesiton is, which shold i take right after my workout, and which should i take throughout the day in the morning, when I'm in school etc?

Basically, my goals are just to be able to recover. gain weight too but my priority is still gainign muscles, getting stronger.


cheers

Dude avoid buying 'mass gainers' like that. They're just protein plus sugar (plus marketing). You don't need to pay good money for sugar... its like 18c a kilogram at the supermarket. When you buy sugary mass gainer you pay like 50 times that. Just buy the whey from now on.

Since you already the mass gainer stuff use that post workout. Use the whey the rest of the time with whole milk at your weight. Or even better eat real food the rest of the time  8)

Not sure what you mean there. But post workout you'll definitely want some protein. You don't need to buy any special secret formulas etc, they're all just hyped up crap. Just have a serve of the whey you bought. Whey protein concentrate is all you need to buy. 99% of the supplements and special proteins out there are garbage.

With your protein you should have some carbs. Your body will use them for recovery (kind of). Some people avoid carbs, but you're really thin so don't worry about that. With your protein have some milk, a handful of oats, some honey and add some flavour (banana, cocoa, peanut butter, any old ice cream topping etc). That's all you need.

PS you don't have to buy protein powder. A solid food meal will do fine too. Powder is just convenient and easy if you're not that hungry.

here is something i was told regarding protein intake.

0.8xbw per kilo of whey protein mixed with 0.4xper kilo bodyweight of maltodextrin(dextrose) natural sugar very cheap to buy.
this is a good thing to use.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

ah ic well i take it sinc its ocnvinient, and beside, its eaier to absorb after workout.

So ell, thats actually oen reason why i bougth the weight gainer, because it has carbs.
since our body needs protein adn carbs after workout, i bought that as it gave both.


so i'm wondering.
let's say whn i start hitting the gym. I drink my whey protein straight after the workout, which would give protien. what about the carbs? I can't be bringign oatmeal there, as i gotta use hot water.

The weight gainer is fine mate. Just make your own from protein powder and sugar from the supermarket. Save $

You can bring oats etc if you want. Have it all in a protein shaker and all you gotta do is add milk or water. Hell put some oats, powdered milk and protein powder in a protein shaker and add your water. Hot water sounds awful though. Not sure how you even have your protein powder with warm water... vomit! If you still don't want to add oats you can use normal sugar for carbs, or bread, or muesli bar or honey. You get the idea. Whatever you can bring along.

Maltodextrin is just natural sugar derived from corn or wheat usually. It's no better or no worse in your case than sucrose (table sugar). You're quite lean by the sounds so use whichever one is easier to get.

yeah bro bread and muesli would be fine. Just make sure to get the protein as well.

Room temp protein shake is ok if you can drink it  :) You won't have any probs absorbing it.

I eat raw ground beef after workouts. I feel the ENERGY MENG! I'm 100% ersious. I might eat one box of dates, then half pound raw meat man.
"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

I just blend up a shake before I go workout, put it in my locker, and drink it after I'm done.

-Banana
-Handful of raw oats
-Handful of spinach
-Handful of frozen berries
-Peanut butter
-Protein powder
-Milk

That's basically all I put in. You really don't need to buy all that hyped up supplement bullshit. 100 grams of the $60 "super gainer" and what not crap protein will get shitted on by 150 grams of the $5 per pound Wal-Mart protein. You really don't have to pay that much for it.

But then again-- a normal meal is fine, it's not necessary to get a protein shake, it's just easier sometimes for me. Just eat a nutritionally dense meal after your workout and you should be fine.
