After working out with weights, I understand you need to consume some carbs (in order to restore some glycogen) in order to build muscle.

Would it be "OK" to have some carbs post workout - IF your goal is to increase muscle mass?

I don't do the weights but run a bit. I find that I do need a few extra carbs.

Actually there are many protein drinks to do exactly that - I use Sci-MX Protein quoting from the tin... "Protein is the single most important nutrient that muscles need to grow" it also includes vits an Amino Acid profile which includes Glutamic acid and glycine... and more...
