Replying to your inquiry privately as I don't think my experience would "qualify" me to write this suggestion publicly - baked potato.
   
  I know that it is anethema.  But I think it may fit a specific principle - meeting your specific nutritional needs.  I think it's worthy of an experiment.
   
  I played amateur hockey at a high level for a few years and I experimented with carbs.  Am female, period I am discussing is between 37 and 41 years of age.
   
  My best result was a baked potato 2 1/2 to 3 hours before a game or hard practice.  I did workout, but in a maintenance mode and that wasn't very much as I am naturally muscular.
  I was on high protein, no bad carbs, fruits and vegetables allowed.
   
  I allowed fat free sour cream).  Let me know if you try it.

  I am trying to add a little carbs post workout to help restore glycogen
stores, but I am not an endurance athlete and am looking for
recommendations.

I am thinking a banana just before my protein shake (around 50g of
protein), but this still isn't anywhere near the 4 to 1 (carb to
protein) that many recommend. When added to the carbs in the shake I
would be getting around 40 g carbs and 50g protein.

Thoughts?
