Greetings all-
I’m utilizing the noon-ish training scenario and my question is 2 part..
So after training I wait 1 hour then I take my PWO (25g protein/5g leucine/5g creatine)
Now do I have to wait a additional hour before before taking in nutrients or is it WITHIN the hour after taking the PWO?2nd: Kiefer recommends coffee with MCT within the post training phase but would coffee and heavy cream also be viable?
I finish up training at noon on sundays so I wait an hour for PWO shake, then wait a while to eat a low carb meal. By “a while” to me means when I’m hungry which isn’t very long, maybe a half hour or so. Not sure if this is technically what the book recommends but it works for me.
Not sure about the second question since I don’t do the coffee post training thing so I’ll defer that one to someone else to answer.The eyes can't see what the mind doesn't understand.
1. Lift –> water only for an hour –> PWO –> coffee with or without MCT/coconut oil for an hour –> ULC meals
2. It’s more like if you need to get something in within that hour after ingesting your PWO shake, it should only be water, coffee, and/or MCT or coconut oil. It has to do something with saturated fats (can’t exactly remember). MCT/coconut oil is fine since it’s a different “kind” of saturated fat.In regards to eating after lifting, I do the same as Shadow. Except I don’t get hungry during the day all that much and will usually end up being close to two hours until I’m actually hungry to want to eat anything.

Thanks for clarifying!
Any idea if heavy cream can be used in place of MCT oil during this post workout phase?
As far as I know, no. MCT or coconut oil if anything.

I think Kiefer recommends the MCT instead of heavy cream in the post workout window because it is broken down quicker for energy (20-30 min) whereas cream takes 2-3 hours to be broken down.
