gatorade with whey protein for post workout drink?
« on: July 03, 2010, 09:00:07 AM »
i've been taking pro form's ignition with my proform whey protein, but wondering couldn't i just use gatorade mixed in with my whey protein for my post workout drink?

the whey protein i use is tropical flavors (watermelon, fruit punch, etc.) so it would probably mix well and taste right with any flavor gatorade.

the ignition i use is 38.00 roughly a month, just wondering if gatorade would not only work just as well, but be cheaper in the long run?

i lift mon, tues, thurs, friday, so basically it would be 4 gatorade bottles a week with my whey protein?

don't know if gatorade has enough simple sugars grams though that i/you need for post workout? would i have to drink the large gatorade bottles not the supposed to be 1 single serving bottle size? thanks in advance for the replies!

Forget the product itself...

Im a capitalist but there is a big part of me that would rather support a company in the bodybuilding and supplement biz...gatorade just aint one of em...thats just me though.
