Fruit ok post workout?
Fruit ok post workout?
Hi
I am currently using Maximuscle cyclone as my post workout nutrition, which i have at around 8:30pm after my workout. As it only contains 21g of carbs, would it be alright to eat fruit as part of my post-workout nuitrition, such as a banana, apple, oranges etc? Are all fruits complex or simple carbs. I am led to believe that they are simple as they contain fructose, but i need a definite answer. Also, would white bread be a better alternative to the fruit post-workout? Thanks!

Thanks! imo any kind of carb is good...whether it's fruit, white bread, oats (you could mix some fruit and oats into the shake if u want)
Sure...

Bananas don't have any fat..
Its eating them at the wrong times that will make you fat bc they spike your insulin. But pwo this is the goal so they are great for this time Again, what the hell? Bananas at different times of the day don't make you fat dude, it's simply a matter of eating more calories then you expend. Way to look foolish while trying to make someone else look foolish.
Bananas are fine at any time of the day. True dat
Lmfao.

Hmmmm, seems like its a consensus . . .
Sure...
My PWO is exclusively fruit and whey. What better time to get in nature's nutrients than a time when you NEED the sugar from the fruit to help protein synthesis? l every day after i work out i have a whey smoothie. 1.5 scoops vanilla whey, 3 cups strawberries, and 2 cups milk. its a little much but its soo delicious and ive noticed im lookin better since i started this a month 1/2 ago If I'm lifting between classes, I'll have 2 large bananas. If I can come home after the gym, I have 1 banana and a big bowl of oats. I also have either an apple or orange pre-workout as well. Fruit is an awesome carb source. Like the list posted above says, just stick with higher GI fruits (bananas, pineapple, watermelon) for PWO and your all set. Yes, there's hardly a better time 2 eat fruit than post-workout! :)
Fruit does not 'spike your insulin'.
Insulin does not make you fat.
Fruit is great to eat post workout. Fructose should make up about 10-20% of your carbohydrate calories IMO. Not that I really care about that sort of thing.
It's a shame that there is so much misinformation peddled by people on what is supposed to be a nutrition forum. Not to rag on anyone but it makes me a very sad panda.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!11
I eat bananas whenever I need a quick snack, whenever I have a craving for something sweet, etc. I'm not fat. Heck yea man. Split a banana, spread with peanut butter, and layer on some SF chocolate sauce. Wash it down with a big glass of milk and you've got a damn tasty snack.
Again, what the hell? Bananas at different times of the day don't make you fat dude, it's simply a matter of eating more calories then you expend. Way to look foolish while trying to make someone else look foolish. You're taking it out of context. Bananas will not make you fat, maybe I should've said it differently but if you someone is trying to lose weight they definitely should not be eating 4-5 bananas throughout the day. Yes, you have to burn more calories than you take in.
I eat bananas whenever I need a quick snack, whenever I have a craving for something sweet, etc. I'm not fat. So do I. Or an apple. I'm not fat either. But everyone is different.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!11 Yes, fruit does spike your insulin. And knowing how to manipulate your insulin levels will make/break you when it comes to transforming your body.
Why does everyone think I'm condemming fruit? I eat 2-4 servings of fruit per day, along with 3-5 servings veggies. They are just like anything else you have to know WHEN to eat them.
Sheesh

Sheesh Is fructose the optimal low glycemic index sweetener?

Fructose is a monosaccharide which is abundant in nature. It is the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate. The availability of fructose increased substantially when it became possible in the 1960s to economically produce high fructose syrups from corn starch and other starches. Such high fructose syrups are now used to sweeten soft drinks, fruit drinks, baked goods, jams, syrups and candies. The most recent data available suggest that fructose consumption is increasing worldwide. Fructose presently accounts for about 10% of average total energy intake in the United States. Studies in both healthy and diabetic subjects demonstrated that fructose produced a smaller postprandial rise in plasma glucose and serum insulin than other common carbohydrates. Substitution of dietary fructose for other carbohydrates produced a 13% reduction in mean plasma glucose in a study of type-1 and type-2 diabetic subjects. However, there is concern that fructose may aggravate lipemia, particularly in men. In one study, daylong plasma triglycerides (estimated by determining the area under response curves) in healthy men was 32% greater during a high fructose diet than during a high glucose diet. There is also concern that fructose may be a factor contributing to the growing worldwide prevalence of obesity. Increasing fructose consumption is temporally associated with the increase in obesity. Moreover, on theoretical grounds, dietary fructose might increase energy intake. Fructose stimulates insulin secretion less than does glucose and glucose-containing carbohydrates. Since insulin increases leptin release, lower circulating insulin and leptin after fructose ingestion might inhibit appetite less than consumption of other carbohydrates and lead to increased energy intake. However, there is not yet any convincing experimental evidence that dietary fructose does increase energy intake. Although evidence that fructose has adverse effects is limited, adding fructose in large amounts to the diet may be undesirable, particularly for men. Fructose that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables is a modest component of energy intake and should not be of concern.

What are the "other common carbohydrates"?
Glucose, galactose, lactose, maltose, sucrose. There are probably some others that I don't know.
