Do you like to eat ... 'banana'??

Question

... as part of your post workout carbs?

i know glucose would be better (dextrin malodextrin whatever) but a banana? i've heard its good carbs, not the best but good... why exactly?

high GI index?

Answer 1

Yes, I have bananas post-workout.  They are good because they are simple carbohydrates.  

When you workout your glycogen levels have been depleted, and you should have a simple carbohydrate to replenish them.  

Bananas actually have a low glycemic index of 54.

Answer 2

bananas are good carbs. they are high in calories

Answer 4

Answer 5

I put a banana in my protein shake post workout..mainly to help replace potassium.
