It's not my outlook it's just fact . But whey doesn't take an hour to fully digest. It takes up to around forty minutes to reach peak blood levels and starts going down after that. It is SUPER fast and is like comparing a cheetah to a turtle. I just want to be clear. Big difference between peak levels of aminos in forty minutes vs. three hours!

BUT I totally see your logic about having the whey for pre-workout. And it's 60 grams so thats a lot. So really you are delivering aminos the whole time plus the carbs and shit. Can't dispute your logic there. It all comes down to the same thing probably! So it's really comparing apples and oranges. I think it sounds good.

My biggest thing was to dispell the idea of having fast AND slow assimilation. No such thing. There is just a base assimilation based on the content of the meal. There is no getting around that. Your protocal I think is probably a great one. ALL I'm saying is that IF someone's goal for POST is FAST stuff...then no casein or egg.

To be totally honest I myself am not really waiting around an hour before I have my PPWO meal! I work out at home anyway. I stick with fast stuff for pre and post mostly out of keeping it simple and having ready access to other type of things to eat. In reality I'm usually eating a big meal in thirty minutes at the most if not sooner. And it is because of the SAME thing you said. I already had fast protein and carbs for pre. Pre is the most important anyway, IMO. I've had a steady stream of aminos for over an hour already by the time I have my PPWO.

But don't you think some malto with the dextrose would be better to handle?

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
