What is the equation used to determine how much carbs/protein a person of a specific weight should consume in their pwo shake?

I've read many different theories on this.
I believe that most recommend a 2:1 ratio carbs to protein. example: 20g protein, 40g carbs. this is what i tend to do. obviously if you are in prep mode then your trainer may alter this a little to meet your macro needs...
i'm interested to see what others on the board think too...

Yes, I also realize this mentioned ratio.
but I was referring to the equation trainers use to figure out how much carbohydrate (gram) and protein (gram) a person should consume in their shake.
For example 2x bodyweight (kg) = protein for pwo...
Carbohydrate Plus Protein Speeds Recovery
Research shows that combining protein with carbohydrate in the two hours after exercise nearly doubles the insulin response, which results in more stored glycogen. The optimal carbohydrate to protein ratio for this effect is 4:1 (four grams of carbohydrate for every one gram of protein). Eating more protein than that, however, has a negative impact because it slows rehydration and glycogen replenishment.

What is the equation used to determine how much carbs/protein a person of a specific weight should consume in their pwo shake? Researchers have shown growth hormone (GH) levels are elevated after resistance training. It's well known that as insulin levels increase in the body, growth hormone decreases. A large spike in insulin will occur with the ingestion of high GI post-workout carbs. If your post workout meal doesn't contain carbs, your body may actually instead break down muscle tissue for this same purpose. That would be absolutely devastating ! Since we already know that carbs also create an insulin spike which helps to move nutrients into your muscle tissue quicker. That is exactly why as a starter point I will personally use a 1:1 ratio of proteins to carbs (for example 40 g carbs & 40 g protein) along with some type of creatine (such as AAEFX kre-alkaline), along with a good source of glutamine peptides allows me to stay full and strong even when dieting down on very low carb cycle. If you ask 5 different body builders the same question you will undoubtedly receive 5 different answers. However, they're all in their own right to be correct because everyone has a different biochemical makeup, but it is a known fact we all have a mutual love for P/RR/S ! This being said just experiment with it on your own and do a little bit of footwork and research, then I am sure you find what is going to work the best for you in order to be more primed to help support anabolic growth my friend. As for the best type of carbohydrate to use at this critical moment is a waxy maize starch or glyco-maize or maltodextrin or some type of liquid glucose. Maltodextrin can be found primarily in Carboplex. Although in a pinch I have been known to mix up sum' barley and oats....  |

What is the equation used to determine how much carbs/protein a person of a specific weight should consume in their pwo shake? No universal answer here. Depends on goals, bodyweight, bodyfat, personal metabolism, time of day, etc. Each of my clients gets a somewhat different formula. |
