Just curious if any of you guys have used a post-workout carb supplement and how it compared to using whole foods as a carb source. Any input? 
As long as it's not completely garbage, I eat as much as possible post workout.
I'm doing 531 and putting on muscle, so your goals may be different.
Protien shake plus Gatorade for some simple carbs. Hour Mayer have a proper meal.
Ive seen some people take dextrose post workout, my buddy mixes it in with his protein shakes and he's seen some solid gains lately. Its cheap as hell too and you can buy it in bulk. Its supposedly the best post-workout carb.
Not sure why dolce recommends peanut butter post workout? Surely that slows digestion which is exactly what you don't want PWO.
Doesn't seem to make sense but the guys obviously good
It does not make much of a difference unles you are a pro-athlete.

Well considering the thread asked about a post workout carb SUPPLEMENT in comparison to real food I didn't think it was necessary to say that.
Dextrose/Maltodextrin is what I use.
Mutant Mass is perfect

I do a sweet potato, spinach, kale, carrot and whey protein shake. And within an hour I eat dinner. Have had great results doing this.

Nutrient timing is largely irrellivent when it comes to body composition. Spend money on a protein shake and straight sugar in the form dextrose if you choose, but the advantages gained from it are slim to none. See the above study for the academic inclined.
TheBankster -Taste great. Highly recommend.namrepus - I do a sweet potato, spinach, kale, carrot and whey protein shake. And within an hour I eat dinner. Have had great results doing this.How do sweet potatoes taste in a shake?love them otherwise!
I take about 40g of ON Pro-Complex about 5 mins after I put my last weight down. I use a shaker cup and drink it in the locker room. I also take 3-4 g of BCAA's and 2-3 g of Glutamine (pills). Then I head home and shower, and cook dinner.
Post workout meal is usually a protein like, steak, chicken, turkey, fish....with greens like asparagus/broccoli, and a sweet potato or red potato or rice...maybe an apple also.
Post workout protein shake with the BCAAs and glutamin included then caramel rice cake about an hour after.
Just make sure you reach your macros for the day and don't worry about what you get right after a work out. If you're incredibly tired and hungry, eat.
