Ratios for Pre- and Post-Carb/Pro Drink

[bdcline]

I just read the Nutrient Timing book and was curious about their recommendations for the "Energy" (Pre-workout and workout) drink and the Anabolic (immediate post-workout) drink. In particular, is there any reason to keep their protein to carb ratios? For example, for the pre-workout drink they recommend a 1P:3C-4C ratio (6g P: 20-26g C), saying "this formulation is highly digestible," but offering no support or evidence for this claim. But 6g of protein for the pre-workout drink seems awfully small. Anyone have experience with this? What about a pre-workout drink with, say, 20P and 25C, or is the ratio more important than increasing the amount of protein? What about the ratio for the Primer and Driver drinks? Is there something magical about the ratios?

Thanks!

I really don't think this is going to matter that much. If you are bulking, you aren't going to be on an empty stomach anyway, so worrying about what is in your preworkout shake is pointless, since it will just be added to what food is still in your stomach anyway.
