BCAA or EAAs or BCAAs+EAAs Postworkout OR Whey? (Protein content wise only both with dextrose powder/gatorade for fast acting carbs)

Don't tell me to eat solid food PWO please...

Thanks in advance.

You should just eat solid food.

Protein powder plus powdered gatorade is fine.  Also complex carb powder from NOW along with protein powder both pre and post workout is good.

    You can eat anything you want post workout. There's no extra benefit associated with taking protein directly post workout.

    have 1scoop of whey protein mixed with some dextrose or sugar post workout , or have a banana with your protein shake

    1 scoop of whey has enough amount of all kinds of essential and non essential amino acids , 1 scoop of ON whey has 5.5 g of BCAA - which is a good amount
    and enough EAAs too

    IMO it is waste of money to buy supplements like BCAAs and any other amino acid supplements , instead you can buy 2lb Dymatize whey for the same price which lasts for 1 month

    Are you kidding me? Did you somehow miss the huge volume of literature showing a boost in muscle protein synthesis following protein/carbohydrate ingestion?!

    @stp I have taken whey all my life but I was wondering if amino acids (the whole spectrum) which includes EAAs and BCAAs will be absorbed faster for recovery rather than whey. By the way, 5.5g of BCAA does not have EAAs if you're unaware of that fact.

    I'd like to see this "huge volume" of literature which shows that consuming protein directly post workout increases MPS vs. any other time in the day.

    I'd like to see this "huge volume" of literature which shows that consuming protein directly post workout increases MPS vs. any other time in the day.

    The most recent review on the matter (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21092368) clearly states:

    "The studies of post-exercise protein consumption are unequivocal in the finding of an enhanced rate of MPS after exercise"

    And concluded with:

    "Thus, the combined evidence suggests a strategic advantage of practising early post-exercise consumption of whey protein or dairy-based protein to promote muscle protein synthesis, net muscle protein accretion and ultimately hypertrophy."

    However, I have always believed that net caloric totals count, not necessarily the timing, frequency or composition etc of them.

    That proves nothing on your part. It just states what nearly everyone knows: increased amino acid levels in the bloodstream increases protein synthesis.

    Also, this isn't a very good source. There were no trials, at all. But what's most important is the fact that they neglected to mention anything about protein turnover.

    You said it yourself: nutrient timing doesn't matter.
