Here's what I do. I take Gatorade or malto or whatever carb powder (even sugar) and measure 45 grams worth of carbs. Just do the math of the nutrition label. I add 15g worth of my protein powder. I fill it up with water and shake it. Drink 1/2 before I head out of the locker room and then top if off with more water. Drink the rest during the workout.
I've already premeasured my post workout drink into another bottle or small container. 20g of P worth of my protein powder and 20-40g worth of my carbs. After he workout, I just this powder into the same shaker bottle, add water, shake and drink.
Now, it just so happens that bottled, generic chocolate milk tends to be 15-16g P and 35-40g C, per serving. Most bottles hold two servings. For the PWO drink, it's a little light in the P dept., but I don't sweat it. Close enough.

I workout in the evenings and then eat dinner within an hour of the workouts. And I'm always confused about pwo nutrition. Whether I need a pwo drink or not if I am eating a p/c dinner. If I do the pre/during/post suggestions in Adams diet it seems like that is a lot of calories to consume and then also eat dinner. For instance, 15g protein powder (1/2 scoop 60 cals) + 45g gatorade carbs (150 cals) = 210 cals for pre/during. Then you also picking up full scoop prot powder (110 cals) + 30g gatorade carbs (100 cals) after my workout. That is a total of 420 calories. Does that seem right? Or am I worrying too much about it?
