Not to mention, the preW meal is a crucial influencing factor on postW needs, and this is another thing rarely defined in these discussions. In the end, total amount of carbs in most cases is infinitely more important than form or timing.
Total amount of carbs more important than the form or timing. That sounds good to me! I personally just take a PWO shake as it's easier for me, I'm lazy, and I'd feel sick if I drank anything other than water before/during training.
