Heidiwag Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone have an opinion if eating 1-2 medjool dates post workout with protein would be a good idea? I typically do sweet potatoes with protein but I'm wondering if the dates would be more effective as a simple sugar? I'm on day 70 of my Whole 84 and I'm trying to dial some things in a little. For the record, its not my first whole 30 and I no longer have issues with sugar dragons. For my exercise, I do Crossfit and HIIT/met con type workouts. Thank you!

Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 Dates are high in fructose. Fructose helps to replenish liver glycogen, but not muscle glycogen. The best choice for replenishing muscle glycogen is complex carbs like sweet potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
