Usually, ten minutes after training I have a very ripe, almost brown bananna as They're full of Sugar.
The Protein drink is then usually taken 30 minutes or so after training...
Sound about right?

Donny try maybe a salad with kidney beans, or chick peas, these are mt to faves but there are many others that are the same sorta thing works for me when i want food protein in a rush.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Gally, actually that would be exactly my thing, I've always loved salad.
I'm investigating a low fat, high protein dressing at the moment.

You're a chef Gally? Man thats so cool! I had no idea, what's your speciality?

[gally]

I dunno man, I like cooking loadsa things man, but at the mo in the restaurant people are loving the braised rib ere steak with saffron scented dauphinoise potatoes and savoy cabbage with smoked bacon, not the best for us boxers on low fat diets lol but delicious!!

[donnydarkoIRL]

Man that sounds good...
The only really restaurant worthy I can cook is Chicken and Mushroom Vol au Vont, but man I love it!!!

I have big respect for chefs as I worked as a Hotel Barman for a year and a half (at weekends and nights...nightmare.) But the stress the Chefs went through was truely shocking and I don't envy them although I admire the people who do it.

Even tho the banana is full of sugar (fructose) it's still not absorbed as quickly as glucose...no matter how brown it is

30 mins isn't that bad. Maybe try to shorten the length of time between finishing at taking the shake but to be honest, your body isn't aware of the exact time that you've stopped training. It's just the quicker you take it, the quicker it will be absorbed....and immediately after training your body is super responsive to nutrition.

Cool Ono, I can shorten that time no problem!!!

As for the immediate after training intake, would a few glucose sweets be the ideal thing?

Erm lucozade would be much better as its a liquid. You'd have to eat a fair few glucose sweets to get around 60grams of it.

Best thing to do would be too look at this table The GI Diet - Glycemic Index Traffic Light Food Chart

This explains all you need to know about GI and from this you will be able to choose the most suitable high GI solution for you after training.

Personally i go for a tin of tuna and 500ml Lucozade.

I can't afford protein powder at the minute because i'm a hobo

Ha sorry if I seem to be ducking the idea of Lucozade Ono.
My only problem is with the amount of cardio I do there is a thing that can occur called "caffeination"

This happened to Max Baer after drinking 5 bottles of coca cola after training.
I too once drank a litre of Coke just after training and I was brought to my knees by the pain that resulted.

Ever since I've been hesitant with fizzy drinks.

Why did he do that?

Maybe white bread with some jam on it. Or jacket potato with some tuna on it. Rice Cakes are also good.

[donnydarkoIRL]

He said he had trained really hard and was gasping for a drink (which was unusual, him training hard that is.) he then collapsed on the ground in pain from caffeination.

It happened to me also and I READ ABOUT bAER YEARS LATER.
