A quick, good post workout meal.

The only downside to this is the bad carbs if you're cutting. Otherwise the carbs are what you need. This is quick as hell and tastes good and a pretty good meal.

Just make a box of mac and cheese, make it a little in the liquid side, ad two cans of tuna after it's done. That's it.

It's even better with one of those boxes of angel hair pasta with parmesan (sp?) sauce. One box to two cans of tuna. Had that today tastes VERY good with plenty of carbs and protein and not too much fat as the tuna has basically no fat.

A very low fat and healthyier version is to scoop out an avacado and use it to make tuna salad in place of mayo. DO NOT knock it until you've tried it. The avacado is very good for you and tastes surpisingly good. Just put it on a piece of whole wheat toast with a little cheese on top. Good to go.

Edited: after layin back's post. I corrected my carb sentence.

macaroni is high glycemic, perfect for post workout! matt, i will try that.

another good one is to mix a can of tuna with a can of sweet sue chicken and dumplings. tastes great. high sodium but it is quick and easy

tuna in regular mac and cheese huh? I'm gonna have to try that one on monday. Thought that cheese and tuna might come off as a little undesirable but i'll give it a go

ah...why not? i'm in.

if you use the white albacore low soduim its good stuff
even then run water over it with a strainer

I like mixing it with reg boiled elbows
mix tuna and elbows then a dab of low sodium miracle whip
whoola
add a tab of pepper to flavor it

Sounds great. I just meant they're bad carbs for cutting, not for a normal diet. That's what I get for posting at 3:00 AM. Woke up with heartburn again.

You like Albacore? I've tried it, I really don't like that stuff at all. I guess it's an individual taste.

As far as the cheese - it works surprisingly well with the tuna. Give it a go.

So when your bulking are there really few carbs you want to avoid? Sometimes when I am counting caloric intake I get so hungry and I find myself maybe being more restricted than I need to be? I mean as long as I am not eating the fast food all the time and im training hard a few tiems a week I should be able to just hammer down food right? Like I can have pasta and all that shit right lol. I really miss fettichini (spelling) every once in awhile haha.

I'm sorry bro, but water mac and cheese with tuna sounds gross as hell!! lol

The fat would slow down the glucose absorbtion but honestly, I'm not a big advocate of the importance of nutrient timing. I think the body is very adapatable in that regard. Nobody ever made great gains because they timed their meals well.

Best for post workout? No contest, BIG BLAST. Dextrose and hydrolyzed rice syrup with cross filtered whey and super plasma serum. Instant muscle food.
