jump4life Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I typically do egg whites and sweet potatoes PWO, but I am always keeping my eyes out for something that would be stable to have in the glove compartment as an emergency backup for when I am not prepared. Baby food veggies fit the bill for the starchy carb, but I dont like any jerky so far and my stomach rejects canned meat after a work out. I just found Pacific Organic Bone Broth- single serve pack with no fat and 9 grams of protein. I think my 2-3 egg whites are about this much protein. I have been wanting to add bone broth to my diet so this could be a win win. Any reason this doesn't make sense as a PWO protein choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 21, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2014 I can't rule it out as a choice, but I am skeptical of your getting real protein from bone broth. By the way, I just checked: I get 30 grams of protein from the 4 ounce can of tuna I eat as my post-workout meal. I find that holds me only about 30-45 minutes before I need to eat more. You would need to drink more than 24 ounces of the Pacific Organic stuff to consume that much "protein." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump4life Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks Tom!! I think you use a lot more protein than I do immediately PWO. I did the calculations on the typical real food meal I eat immediately and I get 10 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein. It took me awhile to adjust to eating right after the workout but now I my body is expecting it. Then I drive the 35 min commute home and cook my M3, so typically end up eating another full protein rich meal about 60-90 min after my work out is complete. This seems to be working perfectly- I am actually hungry for the M3 (which I never used to be after a work out) and I haven't had any issues with energy since starting this refueling pattern. I didn't think about the type of proteins in the bone broth at all! I went and read the Whole9 bone broth FAQ- which said it is rich in the amino acids proline and glycine and contains collagen proteins. I posted a question there about using it PWO and will report back with any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
