You know, as usual, getting caught up in the minutia, I lost sight of that central point about pre-workout meal. I've said it before, the post workout meal and the timing of the nutrients thereof become less important if you're doing fast protein and carbs immediately pre-workout. That was kind of stupid for me to go on and on without even mentioning that until the end. It wasn't until 0311 mentioned the point that I realized I never said anything about it. PRE, I do believe is the more important of the two.
If you're not having the fast stuff for pre but are just having the sower protein and carbs (or a mixture) some time before, than the timing of post becomes more important.

Well you know when it comes to meals the GI of it is affected by everything in the meal including protein, fat, and fiber. The carbs are probably the single most important determinant, of course. But with proteins I'm just talking about the speed of whey. Comparing casein to eggs to beef to chicken would be just completely pointless.
