Post-workout shakes?

[Kompany4]

Guys admittedly when it comes to nutrition and diets/macros I have never been the most clued up of guys (shocking I know)

All my life I knew what to eat and lots of it to gain a lot of size but as I am getting older I am now becoming more self conscience not to overdo it and eat 90% clean

I know most these days make their own or use real food but I love this stuff, have used since I started out and can pick it up very cheap, plus super convenient,

I am aware we need sugars post workout and that's what this product is designed for but yesterday I did panic as I tapped away adding my log on MyFitnesspal and the words "this contains high amounts of sugar" well duuurrrrr but what I am asking is this type of sugar going to do me more harm than good four days a week?

Rest of my daily diet is bare minimum i'd guess around 20-25g sugars

Cheers fellas, with times and scene changing so much you start to doubt or question what you used to know or do lol

I've quickly had a look at the ingredients and it seems to be mostly dextrose so that will be ideal for replenishing glycogen stores PWO mate. If you're only having 1 of those shakes a day (PWO) and you've got simple carbs/sugars under control in your meal plan I can't see this causing you any problems.

One thing to consider though is your pre and intra carb intake as that makes a big difference to how much sugar is actually needed PWO. If you've hydrated well during the session with electrolytes and simple sugars (or fruit juices/sports drinks etc) and you had a pre-WO shake too.... you probably won't even need any sugars PWO (or maybe just a very small amount).

Nice one mate great reply, I don’t take anything during workouts just around 1.5 litres of water

All other sugars are under control throughout the day so hopefully as you say, I should be fine here?

Wouldn’t stress sugars at all bud

You will be fine with that 1 shake PWO mate.
I prefer to try and get some sugars in pre and intra to stop me feeling hypo and to keep energy levels high....but that's just a personal thing.
