The HELL with the DIET board.........

[halfaclue]

What does everyone's postworkout meals look like?

How about the weekends? Free for alls?

Right now I am at:
3 rice cakes
1 scoop celltech carb sense
2 scoops whey

50g pro/75g carbs/4g of fat

Immediately following the workout I have a shake with 100g proetin, 50gram Malto powder and some CCE

cutting or bulking? or it doesnt matter??

Thats the one meal I keep constant whether I'm bulking or cutting. Every other meal I add or subtract depending on goals.

I believe this is where im going wrong..in the PWO nutrion department....I usually do 50g whey/ probably under 50g dextrose...but no oats..

I agree with tzan. I mix a scoop of Champion Heavyweight 900 Weight Gainer powder with a scoop and a half of Ultramet chocolate meal replacement powder RIGHT after every workout, regardless of whether it's a lifting workout or a cardio workout. It gives me around 75 grams of fast absorbing carbs with 40-50 grams of whey protein. Whether you are trying to bulk or whether you are trying to cut, it just doesn't make any sense to kill yourself in the gym only to reward yourself with a no-carb protein shake after the workout. If you are on a low carb diet, you should take as many carbs as you can for your daily intake right after your workout. Post-Workout recovery supplementation is just as important or more important than every other meal of the day. That's my two cents on this.....

You're alone on this one..............post workout is nothing short of CRITICAL.

Rice Cakes won't cut it.

tzan, I like your diet.... looks alot like mine...and I add / subtract as needed (portion-wise) depending on whether I'm cutting or bulking...

My question: Is it a good idea to have some sort of fat first thing upon waking up with your morning meal? I was thinking no, for the same reason you don't want to drink milk and that's because it slows down digestion of the protein and carbs that the body is starving for at that point.... I've seen morning meals with and without fats.... correct me if I'm wrong?

Here is my diet for most of the year:

Upon waking up:
8 egg whites
1/2 cup oatmeal
banana

mid-morning snack
1/3 CFM protein
1/3 IPI protein
1/3 EFA powder
Lactaid
total of about 55 g. protein

Lunch
Some sort of turkey chef salad - olive oil & vinegar
-or-
Turkey sandwhich on whole wheat - mustard only
Always have some sort of vegetable soup
Soy chips

Mid-afternoon snack
Muscle Milk or similar protein shake which has EFA's or MCT's

Pre-workout
gatorade + creatine (when not on AAS)
some sort of snack bar (when on)

Post-workout
Big Blast shake (contains dextrose + high quality proteins + whole egg + creatine)

dinner
chicken breast or turkey burgers or lean steak
salad
sweet potatoe or brown rice

bedtime
shake with IPI protein (slow-digesting) + water + flax oil
sometimes peanut butter or cottage cheese

My stats:
31 yrs old
175 lbs
~12-15% body fat at the moment - spring cutter to begin soon
