why is the carb count so high in mix1 All-Natural Protein Shake?

Carbohydrates are necessary for energy, and when balanced out with protein and fiber, they're essential for sustained energy. We believe that the carb count in mix1’s All-Natural Protein Shake is ideal for active people to support their energy needs before and during a workout.  After a workout, carbohydrates are necessary for muscle glycogen restoration (carbs).  Many other workout shakes are low in carbohydrates forcing your body to break-down muscle tissue in order to restore glycogen which is extremely inefficient.
