Protein shake questions...

[smokescreen1027]

I have a couple of questions when it comes to my protein and my shakes, so here goes.

I am on Adam's diet and it calls for a PWO shake that contains some carbs. My protein only has 1g of carbs per scoop. I usually use 2 scoops (to get me 34g protein). What else can I add to get the carbs that are called for?

I usually have a can of tuna about an hour before I work out. I was wondering if I should add another shake before my workout. What benefits does this give me if I should do that? How much protein should I get in? And should I add any carbs there as well?

Sorry if my questions are stupid, but I just want to make sure I get the most out of my workouts, as I feel that I am not right now. Please let me know your thoughts/suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, if you're not getting any carbs in pre or post workout, you're not getting all you can out of your workouts.

You should use some type of carbohydrate powder. I use CarboGain. Its maltrodextrin.

I've found the simplest, cheapest solution to be NLarge2 by prolab (note: I only use half a serving (a full serving is 4 scoops and 600 calories!)).
