do i want gatorade with my protein post workout

[Sub-Zero]

I stand by my advice. I honestly think what I told you is logical and couldn't work much better if at all. Not trying to say anybody else is wrong but no one I've ever had do a diet like that didn't gain lean mass and strip bodyfat.

your a pt?

well i spread my carbs out alot through the day, i pretty much eat carbs from when i wake up untill sundown, so i get alot

As do I. I eat about 8-9 times a day (my post-wrkout shakes are counted as one meal). And generally all my meals are pretty even except no fats immediately post-workout.

since ur here and helping me so much

what about the thign where they say not to mix carbs and fats?

what if to spike my cals alot every meal (except pw) i just had a tbsp of ANPB, (even if there was carbs in that meal) to increase my cal count alot

how would that go? what do u think

 

[Quadsweeps Sister]

woah, why eat 3 hours empty stomach for workout, and then 3 hours after pw?

thats like 8 hours of not eating, when DO i eat then?

also, how much gatorade then?

jesus i was so excited and secure in what i was going to do and a pro like u had to come disagree with everyone lol, oh shit what am i gunan do

Okay - say workout is at 500pm. You ate at 200pm. You train and are drinking Glutamine w/ BCAA's during workout. You finish at 630pm, you drink PW shake (that you packed and brought with you). You eat before bed at 930-1000pm... The longest span of non-eating is usally prior to the gym. Just try to eat ~ 3-4hrs before you know you will have your PW shake. Its all time management with these meals.

I never took in gatorade during workout and neither did most anyone I worked out around or trained with. Just drank water, took a lot of Liver and Mass pills or drank Glutamine with branch chains...keeps you going until the PW shake.

You said "LEAN" mass. To have a higher ratio of lean mass, you have a lower ratio of body fat - therefore I assume you are trying to achieve that. This is why I suggest the space in the meals, the water...the removal of this sugar laden drink. You can achieve your lean mass more easily this way. I didn't mean to bungle up the works.

Nope. Took the course but never handed my exam in since I went back to school instead. I've trained about 10 people and have written diets for about 20 I'd say. You can definitely find more technically certified advice than me here - I'm just saying what I've seen work. I've never tried some of those other diets so maybe they're miraculous what do I know. I need sugar though or I get the shakes. I also need food and find if I go more than a couple hours post-workout I get really tired and shaky. I eat and I feel better. It's especially easy to tell how food impacts when you're dieting and your calories are low and you';re trying to keep your energy levels stable throughout the day. If I fuck up and don't eat enough carbs, I feel it.

You can totally mix carbs and fats, just try to make them low gi carbs and healthy non-saturated fats primarily. natural PB is great to add to meals I think. Or just lick at a tablespoon of NPB in between meals if you want - I like to do that for extra calories and gives me something small to enjoy between meals.

Yes.

Just as you have, he will find what works for him through your wonderful advice as well as others here. We have a great forum for that.

[Sub-Zero]

Yes.

Just try the diet first with the lower cals (I haven't seen your diet but will look at it if you like). If you are hungry 1 hr or more before your next meal, add 1-2 more ounces to each portion (lean meat, carb source). If trying to lean down - try to keep complex carbs to 1st meal, 3rd (or lunch) meal and the PW shake meal only. Don't just add ANPB to every meal. Take a more nutritional approach. If your body is hungry and increasing lean mass - it will want more of all the nutrients throughout the day which you increase by a couple ounces until you have to look at the diet again. You are ever evolving and so will your diet.
