With so many conflicting opinions on the correct pre and post workout nutritional protocols to follow - it can be a minefield in trying to decide which to follow.
Protein Bar
Do you consume a carbohydrate drink like Gatorade only? Or do you consume a whey protein and carbohydrate mix? Or do you take some peptide and amino acid tablets? Decisions, Decisions!
Protein Bar
Well let us help you. Research performed by leading scientists suggest that consuming a mixture of whey protein, amino acids and carbohydrates immediately after your workout can substantially increase Net Protein Synthesis. What is this I hear you ask? It is the rate at which protein can be taken in to the body and thus muscles. The greater the figure, the more protein and amino acids the body will assimilate.
So what did the study do? Well they took 8 trained individuals and tried two post-workout nutritional protocols.
a) In the first one they ingested 77.4 g carbohydrates, 17.5 g whey protein, and 4.9 g amino acids 1 hr after resistance exercise.
b) In the other, 100 g carbohydrates was ingested
Results? The obtained readings and biopsy results from specific muscle tissue which clearly indicated that the mixture of protein,carbohydrates and amino acids allowed for an increased rate of protein synthesis.
However, it may be worthwhile pointing out that PRE workout nutrition is also a very important area. After all, it is what the body has been primed with that is key. So if your muscles are full of glycogen [carbohydrates] and you have energy readily available in the body [by consuming some carbohydrates up to 45 mins before the workout] you will see yourself in good stead to power through those workouts
So remember - make sure you take all three in your post workout nutritional protocol

 Natural Protein? Naturally!
Protein comes from both plants and animals, but not all protein is created equally. The protein found in Clif Builder's Bars is free of antibiotics, hormones and genetic modifications, giving you a valuable investment in your total body health. So while an extra lean top sirloin steak or an organic chicken breast are great sources of protein, it's not always convenient to throw those in your briefcase or gym bag. That's why it's helpful to have a Clif Builder's Bar on hand as a portable source of great-tasting natural protein that has ingredients you know and trust. Make Protein Work Harder For You
Staying healthy boils down to two simple ingredients: regular exercise and proper nutrition. Being active and eating healthy foods are no-brainers, but all too often people overlook the importance of getting enough protein in their diets. Virtually every part of your body needs protein to stay healthy, and when you work out, you especially need protein because your body is breaking down and repairing tissue. The best time to grab a Clif Builder's Bar is within 30 minutes of completing a workout or competition--the protein helps your muscles recover quickly and gets you ready for the next training session. More protein also helps your body repair cuts, wounds, strains, stress fractures, broken bones, and other problems, which shortens the time you'll be on the sideline. Build Your Brain with Clif Builder's
Have a big meeting coming up? Need to write a report? Grab a Clif Builder's Bar and get the brain boost you need to make it through. The protein in the bar helps keep your brain working properly. Brain cells talk to each other via messengers that are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Therefore, what you eat affects which neurons will be firing, and that in turn affects whether you'll feel energized or sluggish.
