Well it's not so much the peanutbutter thing I worry about (that doesn't sound likely to me anyway, I think it might drop me out of ketosis) but the "Basically, those post-workout protein drinks during a typical CKD are for naught." thing.

-Ah-ha, I have the answers you're looking for, as usual . Anyways, on the 'CKD' your workouts should be scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. There happens to be a reason for this. On Monday and Tuesday- your blood glucose will still (should) be elevated from the carb-up/supercompensation weekend. You see, the carb-up will enact or promote post-workout glycogen synthesis (at least for Monday and Tuesday). On Friday, however, your blood glucose should be particularly low that day. However, a typical 'CKD' advises you to eat some carbohydrates before the 'grand-depletion workout' (hell's workout). Your muscles will efficiently absorb all the protein/carbohydrates you can stuff into them thanks to the depleted glycogen stores, etc. However, your first post-workout meal will be efficiently transported as well because of the fact that you are NOT in ketosis (remember, you booted yourself out hours before the workout). So, you see, those post-workout protein shakes are a necessity. They are ‘naught’ bad for you (I try).
