Main points of article:
1. Supplements probably aren't necessary.
2. When you eat and the ratio of macronutrients probably doesn't matter.
3. The body probably doesn't need as much carbs and protein as advertised by nutritional supplements.
4. Notice the "probably" in numbers 1,2, & 3.
I guess I have to start qualifying all my posts again saying they are only my opinion and my take on how things apply to me. That's all I can give you. I eat breakfast around 5:30. I workout sometime after that and my next chance to eat isn't until around noon. I generally get really hungry and my protein shake is a quick and convenient method that tides me over to my next meal.
My take on the article was that since when and how much we eat after exercise isn't all that important, we shouldn't use supplements, probably, the article only speculates that some nutritional standards are just myths.
In my personal opinion and in how it relates to me, I think it misses the point as to why I use a protein shake, the convenience factor. Plus even if there's a small chance that it helps post-workout recovery, why not?
I was disinclined to explain every little nuance of my take on the matter in my original post. I apologize most reservedly.
