When do you eat...

[Vicious cycle]

After a PWO shake. Just because of the timing, dinner is often only 30 minutes after PWO shake. It's often hard for me to eat even a small dinner so close after the shake. Do you guys/gals count your PWO shake as one of your 5-6 meals?

I read in an article that PWO shakes should be sipped on over a period of about 40 min for maximum absorption, and in that case your ''normal'' meal should be eaten 30min after your shake.

I count my PWO shake as meal #7.

I try to eat whenever I can. I count shakes as meals. Though the 1/2 gallon to gallon of milk I drink daily isnt listed as a meal.

Try sipping on a whey and dextrose shake during yoru workout and the have your meal immediately post workout. It works great for me!

If I'm in a mass phase, I tend not to worry so much about meal timing - and like WalkingBeast, I will eat when hungry. If I'm leaning out, or simply trying to maintain, my tendency these days is to pound a PWO shake and then wait about an hour for a solid meal.

I pound half my shake PWO, then sip the rest for 45 minutes. About 30 min. to an hour after that I have a solid meal of meat and veggies.
