I remember a few years ago everyone called me ignorant to science and questioned me for refusing adding carbs post workout because I was interested in satisfying my hunger while building muscle and staying lean and hence put those calories into vegetables for my dinner. Now they dont laugh anymore. Read this JISSN study: In conclusion, whilst it cannot be excluded that carbohydrate addition may provide benefits for recovering athletes, on the basis of available data, no further beneficial actions of carbohydrates, irrespective of GI (glycemic index) , are evident concerning muscle hypertrophy when a protein supplement that maximally stimulate muscle protein synthesis is ingested. Further studies are required before conclusions and recommendations can be made. Jose Antonio has pointed out over and over the important of meeting the l-leucine threshold to promote muscle building. In practice it means when you choose your protein sources make sure it gives you enough l-leucine and if it doesnt, add l-leucine! This makes me happy since Im an amino-addict! jissn/content/10/1/42
