THE PERFECT POST WORKOUT CARB

[natabolic]

WHITE RICE!

But, when your at the gym, you do not have the convenience of a plate of rice being ready for you as soon as your done, and we all know how important it is to get those carbs in ASAP after your workout. But is there a way to carry the goodness of white rice with you? In the form of a shake possibly? With no bad taste, or aftertaste? THE ANSWER IS YES!

Get uncooked white rice, and grind up a cup or two in a coffee grinder. Put those grinds in a small, resealable container, and carry that container in your gym bag with a tablespoon inside. Immediately following your workout, before mixing your shake up, throw in 3-4 tablespoons of rice powder, and mix as usual. That gives you about 40 grams of fast digesting carbs, to kick your insulin levels up. Add less for less carbs, or more for more.

Cheap, fast, and effective, and not to mention one of the best post workout carbohydrates to ingest.

Sounds interesting and a quick transport of carbs for sure but why not just eat some cold rice out of your cooler? I am just lazy that way.

Rice pudding is also great post workout.. In the offseason i will cook up a big batch and throw some in a small tupperware container and eat it along side my whey shake..

You know nat they also make the cooked rice in the bag (many flavors also). All you do is microwave it but i use it on the road alot. I rarely heat it up anymore.

I know that LOL.
But im the type of person that doesnt like to eat alot right after a workout. (I know, weird, eh?) So, i get the convenience of white rice post workout, with my whey. and BAM, the perfect post workout meal, til about an hour when i can actually eat a bit more

How about rice powder?

Would this work?

I do like the idea. Its hard for me to eat after a workout sometimes. Especially on leg day.

I'd prefer rice powder over malto back in the day.
Post work out back about a decade ago consisted of organic grape juice and a high quality whey ion powder. Malto bloated me bad so I did graduate to oat and rice powder which were very good with whey protein as well later on instead of malto.
Second meal for years was always eqq whites and oatmeal (either cooked or liquid past) or cottage cheese and rice.
