? for you big guy.

If this is your first post workout meal, why the added almond butter (or at least why in this post workout meal)?

I'd assume this would slow rapid digestion.

10g added fat from almond butter doesn’t do anything bad - that’s meal have lots of super fast digestive carbs so spike sugar are rapidly and then the same rapidly going down so adding a little bit fat slowing downs a bit and reduce high sugar spike what are Wery benefitial

For the same reason I eat some oats and chicken post workout - a little extra fat in this products be beneficial in this moment post workout especially if you’re use inta workout aminos and carbs

Exactly this. I tend to go hypo or at least get extremely hungry after this meal if it has zero added fat. I’ll decrease it later in the diet but for as long as I can, it’s nice to have a bit of fat in it.

I also prefer a bit more fat than some people in my diet. More like 100-120g (total) in offseason with carbs 700-850 vs. only trace fats and carbs closer to 1000.

Between yours and Dave’s insight this is very helpful.

I’ve been doing the Greek yogurt protein fruit bowls post workout with only trace fats with the idea that it would spike my endogenous insulin so I should keep fats as low as possible similar to how you would when using exogenous insulin

It sounds like some fats could be beneficial though and would lead to a longer sustained insulin release (which would be more productive for growth), rather than Just a short, sharp spike that rapidly decreases?

Probably will add some peanut butter to my post workout after reading this, or is there a certain benefit to almond butter? I see a lot of people using almond butter as a fat source

Yes, a small amount of fat post-workout won’t be harmful actually, it can even be beneficial, even if you’re using insulin.
Of course, it all depends on your individual response and how balanced the whole meal is overall.

Now, about the second part why peanut butter is considered worse than almond butter:
-Peanut butter is mostly inflammatory omega-6 fats,
-While almond butter has a better fat profile more omega-3 and omega-9.

So if you’re choosing between the two regularly, almond butter is definitely the better option from a health perspective.

Simple turkey on sourdough with low fat Cabot cheese and a fresh picked tomato from my garden.
This hot summer weather I don’t want to eat. Cold light lunch meat sandwhich is about all I can manage.
With a kombucha drink.

If you like the taste, walnut butter or even better macadamia nuts butter have the best Omega 3 to 6 profile

Peanuts are legumes I didn’t know that until recently. Costco makes really freaking good organic peanut butter it’s addicting.

I now get almonds from store and make almond butter

5 oz Albacore tuna
Sesame seeds
2 cups Jasmine rice
Bowl of seasonal fresh fruit

 

[gauge22-v2]

Airpopped popcorn and a few quick sprays of avocado oil.

Then I put 5g of PB fit, 3g cacao, and 5g of erythritol together and ground it into fine dust in a mortar/pestle. Threw this on the popcorn and tossed.

Will up the of PBfit to cacao to a 2:1 ratio as would like more of a PB taste.
