I've been trying to find something good ...for PWo nutrition. Something not big..but fast. Something besides protein powser. Or Gatorade Thirst Quenchers.
can you give me a good list of something small...and easy to digest that won't get me full...
I am suppose to eat/drink this RIGHT after my HIIT right.....so i don't want anything big...
Can you make a list of somethings you would suggest.
I thought about PROPEL FITNESS WATER...low in sugar, and is water....so i can deal with that. but not sure if it is considered a PWO nutrition item.

Go to a health food store and get some dextrose.
It`s a simple sugar that digests fast and it`s about 3.00 a pound or something like that.Mix it with a whey shake and water.They both digest very quickly.
Dextrose and maltodextrose are the products most commonly used by bodybuilders PW.
Other fast digesting carbs that are used PW are:
white rice
white bread
gatorade
fruit juice(not a great choice really)
tang instant breakfast drink powder
They all digest very fast and will be utilized in a good way.

That would work mx,but no fats PW ,they slow digestion down big time and you want the nutrients to get to the muscles as fast as possible.

1/4 cup dry is good.
Take protein in at this time along with the rice .

Because your body will still utilize them efficiently.
Some experts say there is a 3 hour window of opportunity to take advantage of PWO nutrition.
This means to get those nutrients in during that 3 hour time period.

PWO as in immediately after workout is it? White rice shoulde be fine, but IMO, i think white bread would be better if you do not want to ingest sugar(dex/malto) directly.
I don't think chicken with your pwo meal would be the best choice of protein too. It wouldn't digest as quickly as whey. What i think would work well under these contexts are white bread and pro shake combo.

I've been doing some research on the rice i ate....
It seems Brown Rice (steamed, USA) has 50 gi....very low...lowest of all the brown rice that showed up.
And the highest i found was Jasmine Rice, long grain, Thailand (cooked in rice cooker) Gi of 109.
I was wondering...is Steamed Brown rice done in a rice cooker???
