Default Fat after workout

If I may suggest, cut out the post workout fat. Try to have only protein and only some carbs - fat will slow how fast the protein is absorbed (as will fiber).


How much fat is too much? EAS carb control shake, which I planned ot have after workout. I would need about 10g more of protien to accompiney it. I made some peanutbutter protien bars, but they are high fat because of butter and peanut butter.

About the only pure protien and carb mix I could find is egg whites. I wouldn't mind having them, just trying to figure out how to easily transport them with me to the gym as after my workout I would be running to class, no time to get home. A ziplock bag of scrambled eggs with salt subs and pepper maybe, would they keep in a gym bag for an hour or so safely?

I plan to stay at 30g carb a day at least at first and 104g protien. The after workout meal would be my heighest protien with the rest being at around 16g fiber. Are all three "meals" ok, or should I only do the low fat for that particular meal? The rest will be what I'm doing now. Protien at each meal to get to 104g, low carb, higher fat for calories.
