after the gym.....

[Candy]

After the gym I dont eat because its late and I'm afraid to eat late at night before I go to bed.

Should I eat anyway? Something?

Something about dont eat three hours before sleep or something...... I don't know. I'm always starving.

i've heard from good sources that even if u workout right before bed u should have ur post worout carb+protein shake/meal

 

[Devastation]

If it were me,
I would have a pw shake then come home and have some lowfat cheese or maybe some eggs.

After your workout, you need to eat something. Even if you're on a keto diet and trying to lose fat, you should have something before you go to sleep. A protein shake or can of tuna would be great.

If you're trying to gain weight then FUCK YES, EAT BOY!

i disagree with hansel

if u have a pw shake with carbs then unless it takes over an hour to get home, don't take in fats. A good choice is some protein and veggies

 

[satchboogie]

perhaps the most critical time to eat is pre and post workouts.
before bedtime too.

Hansel is right.....that shit about watching what you eat before bed is the #1 bodybuilding myth..............eat, eat, eat........

You really need to have something right after you lift. Take it with you to the gym so that you give it the maximum time to get digested before you hit the sack. Don’t worry about this being stored as fat, your body will be a furnace at this time.

You want high glycemic carbohydrates to create the necessary insulin spike to deal with the catabolic hormone, cortisol, and fast absorbed protein to rapidly restore a positive nitrogen balance, and protein best in the form of Whey, preferably containing some easily absorbed di and tripeptide amino acids will be most effective.
