post workout nutrition, carbs

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi guys
Just thought itd be intresting to see what people like as there carb sources pwo , mainly geard towards folks doing a nutrient timing style diet ( no carbs until intra )
My pwo meal for a while has been ground turkey , rice crispys and almond milk
But due to feeling very lethargic after this meal , especially if I train first thing in the morning and snd after this meal ( 150g carb from the rice crispys ) is usually followed by a 12 hour work day , I just find my appite is very Low and energy is not great , so recently iv swapped to sweet potatoes and honey or jamsin rice , Macros are the Same but I just find since changing carb souces I don't feel as lethargic and my appite is much better
What's you thoughts on this guys ?

Mike,

You might try taking some BCAA's (like 10g) just at the start of your post-workout meal (or with your intra-workout). BCAA's compete with tryptophan (L-Trp) in crossing the blood brain barrier, so this fatigue might be a function of L-Trp flooding the brain where it is a precursor to serotonin.
