And while it's true that the anabolic window is quite large (2 days or so), if you're exercising daily, you're going to want to keep that post workout meal as fat free as possible to maximize muscle uptake of protein and carb. Again, that's not saying that just concentrating on your overall macros isn't more important, because it is, but when you're really trying to find-tune things, quick carbs like potatoes go best in a fat free state, especially when paired with lean proteins.

Thank you sir, great explanation! I used to drink a shake with dextrose back in the day.. but have read so much stuff lately that says that it is mostly bro-science and its more important to focus on overall nutrition. I have so much london broil in my freezer.. been pretty much having it with every meal. Steak and eggs, steak and sweet potato fries, steak and mashed.. I just dont get tired of it.
