Any recommendation for 70-100 grams of high GI carbs is unsubstiated and the magic rule of twice one's protein intake has no basis.

If you are eating pre-workout which everyone should be doing, hightened levels of amino acids will already be present. Have your shake at the gym but then go home and just eat a solid meal and be on with things.

Pre and post workout is an important time to consume carbs and protein but don't over do it. Whether or not one achieves his/her goals in the gym is more about one's nutrition and calories over the whole day, staying consistent day in an day out.

goosey are you answering his question about after playing basketball or is what you just said a general statement? i wouldn't call it a rule but i see it pretty challenging to go wrong by consuming twice as many high GI carbs as proteins for PWO.

The idea that you need to or that it optimal to consume twice as many high GI grams of carbohydrates as grams of protein is utter hearsay; especially if comsuming a decent amount of protein. How is this link established? Nonsense
