How long should I wait after my protien shake to eat my next meal?
Also, should a simple sugar be consumed along with the potien shake, or a little bit after to time up the insulin spike so that the protien is abosrbed at same time?
What type of sugar should i use for this also? Im a newb when it comes to all the dextrose maltodexrose and all of that.
You're making this far more complicated than necessary. If you're using an MRP or weight gainer between your other meals, you can use the same product for your post-workout shake.
When I used weight gainers, I took three servings of them: Two between meals and the third about 30 minutes after training.
When I switched to MRPs (Myoplex, MET-Rx, Meso-Tech, etc.), the same principles applied. Even with straight protein powders, that pattern never changed (although, given the creatine supplement I use, simple carbs aren't a problem).
Also, fret ye not over whether thine protein powder be pure whey or a protein blend. That's too far into the weeds. Shake it up and drink 'er down, and you're in business.
