What do you eat Post- Workout?

[Entrop]

What carbs?

What proteins?

The more specific you are, the more items I can consider on my shopping list. I think some participation in this thread could help many newbies like me. Hopefully this same question hasnt appeared multiple time on the board, and if it has, hopefully not too recently

not to hijack the thread, but imo i think sometimes too much emphasis is put on the post-workout meal, and not enough on what we are eating throughout the entire day...
with that said, i would say some faster digesting protein and carbs, no to low fat...
a shake is ok immediately, but you should still get in a solid meal asap, i like eat a 97% lean turkey burger, some broccoli and a sweet potato...

If you have a lot of body fat to lose, is there a certain amount of time you should wait after your workout to eat, or immediately following the session?

Maybe the answer has to do with whether u do cardio or lifting, but how bout with a combo of both?

One of the most important times you can eat is right after hitting the gym. I am always on the go so I take a sandwich baggie and dump two scoops of whey in there no matter what. Then I just mix it on my drive home an drink. As soon as I get home I'm making my meal. Nothing in particular but bet your ass it's along the lines if salmon a veggie or salad and a sweet potato. After you exercise your blood is pumping and your system I open to accepting those nutrients. It also compliments your bodies ability to stay anabolic. And my man is too right about what you eat all day really makes a difference. Keep that fire stoked.

2 chicken breasts
5 egg whites with a bit of salsa
two big bowls of cheerios with 1 cup of milk each OR 2 cups of oats with 1 cup of chocolate milk

Roughly 1,200 calories, 115g protein, 130g carbs, 20g fat.

75th with that many proteins and calories at one sitting how can your body possibly process that amount? I would imagine that the rate your body consumes, that amount is mostly turned into waste.

Negatory. Your body can process a lot more than most believe. From an evolutionary standpoint, do you really think our hunter/gatherer ancestors ate small meals 6 times per day with no more than 25g protein per meal?

Anyone who has consumed 50% or more of their daily caloric intake PWO have had phenomenal results. Give it a try for a week or two.

After a workout (if you do it right) the muscle is screaming for protein & the body is depleted of energy....IMMEDIATELY after training I have a serving of protein and carbs, in the form of protein powder with water or juice and a couple scoops of plain oatmeal...

Is that the only time you do that type of meal? In game to try anything plus I'm at the beginning of a bulk cycle right now anyway. Fuck it I'll eat like a refugee just walking into a Golden Coral.
