Post-workout:
Creatine + 1 scoop protein shake

Don't forget that you need carbs to replenish yourself post-workout or the protein would be wasted.
Take foods high in dextrose (well any simple sugar) and it should be more than the protein.
I did some calculations and for me (target bodyweight 68kg) I need about 37g protein and 74g carbs post-workout.
So I mix my whey with about 500ml soy milk (high sugar, relatively high protein).
The calculations were based on the 1st post of this thread.

Also, I think you need to get more protein from natural food (in between meals).
I sometimes take tofu or tuna (they add about 24-40g of protein).
HL milk is an awesome source of protein, 50-52g per liter.

Personally I'm only take whey post-workout and on non-workout days all my protein are from natural food unless I can't meet the quota lol.

thanks for the reminder  tongue.gif I'm 80kg and I need 44g protein post-workout and 88g of carbs, so how do I get the 88g of carbs when I'm going to have my dinner within an hour, usually 30 mins post-workout? and 44g of protein means I have to down 2 scoops of whey to get that, or is there any easier way to get 44g of protein post-workout? again, dinner within an hour so I can't be too full sad.gif

Yeah not easy...
you can get 22g protein and 74g carbs from 1liter of soymilk.
So 24g from whey + 22g from soy milk = 46g protein.

And it's all liquid so you actually digest it faster so you won't feel too full.
I can usually eat about 1.5hrs after downing this shake.

BUT i think since you're gonna have a full meal an hour after your workout I think you don't need to go the full distance of 44g protein and 88g carbs...
Not sure though.

Sure it's a source of protein and am seeing you aggressively promoting them.
But it's expensive.
Cheapest you're offering is rm3 per 20g protein.
I'm not saying it's bad, it's an alternative to others but just not cheap.
Cheers.
