Post workout you're probably better off with a fast-acting carb, such as dextrose; I think the oats would take too long to get into your system. You're also better off mixing it with water PWO as again, milk will slow the digestion down.

As an MRP mix 60 - 100g oats with 30g whey in 1/2pint of milk. You can add a banana and some peanut butter to help thicken things up and give it some flavour.

For PWO you really do want to stick with water though.

i was told in the supplements section that oats + whey can be used PWO

meal replacement could be oats/whey/milk ? i use flavouring to sweeten it up so bananna + peanut butter not required. thanks. thats an easy one i may use in future.

would this be suitable for a morning 'meal' ??

before bed im thinking, whey/milk/oats ?

If you mean breakfast I'd have to say no, not really. Add some whole egg powder and perhaps some micellar casein and it will see you through until you can get something decent in you, but always try to eat a proper meal; protein shakes and MRPs should be used in addition to a good diet and not as replacements for main meals (well, not too often anyway)!

Regarding PWO, Oats are OK, but for me they're not ideal; I prefer something a bit faster acting.

As something to drink before you go to bed lose the oats; you don't need the carbs while you sleep. Add some whole egg powder and micellar casein, again. Both of these are slower digesting proteins, so this way you're able to trickle feed your body through the night; whey is in and out of your system in about 2.5hrs or so.

It depends really as and when het rains, if he trains late at night he should still have carbs post workout.

I consume whey and oats in water PWO, the gist is to get crbs and protein in you PWO to aid recovery.

Milk is fine PWO if that's how you prefer the taste, teh difference would be negligible whether you have them in milk or water, you just need to bear in mind milk has protein, carbs and fat in it so obviously you need to work out your ratios for the rest of the day based on that.

As to the difference of low GI carbs like oats versus the high GI carbs like dextrose, there's not really much difference. 24hrs later glycogen recovery will still be the same.

Stick to whey and oats, its cheaper
