What do you mean with fast release and slow release proteins;carbs? I think you meant the carbs that would be absorbed easier.  I do have a good "energetic" breakfast and that's all I need to have a good workout,  but then there's this thing called sustained energy that isn't just for that single workout but it's for several more workouts in the month (lel ). If you eat carbs AFTER workout but not before once (happened to me today, because I only had 1 hour left, did fast workout and then needed more carbs intake) then that's no biggie , it takes time for body to absorb the carbohydrates and degredate them to glucose for body to take that as energy. Pasta is Low Glycemic Carbohydrate which means it takes slower to absorb, is that bad? Not really, that's great because the body won't respond with a much higher level of insuline (hormon that decreases ur glucose level) and you will have more SUSTAINED energy.  I like having a good breakfast for that energy boost and coffe (that's pre-workout in this case), sure ideal is to have carbs before the workout but honestly, if it doesn't always workout then I'm only about the balanced diet and enough proteins/carbs/fat intake.  Same goes for proteins. Cell respyration takes time (source of energy) and it's only about having a balanced diet throughout the day. You want SUSTAINED energy not only for that one workout, but for the several more workouts in that month instead.


As for supplements, you stated protein, well that's something you use everyday regardless. xD I know what you meant tho, protein powder comes pretty handy and is actually pretty good if you don't have enough time to cook some meat and just get that fast source of proteins. At the end of the day, everything is made out of the same molecules that you need for that energy boost/muscle growth so everyone seems to complicate about that for no reason.
