2 PWO SHakes

[JKurz1]

How do you guys feel about a pwo shake of dext and whey than a myoplex mrp 1hr later............then a final meal before bed of cc and fats?

 

[swordfish151]

hmmm....not sure...after my PWO shake i get hungry within the hour so i like to get a good solid meal in...you just trying to get in more cals in and protein before bed?

 

[Joe Stenson]

What purpose is that supposed to serve?

 

[mendo]

I'm assuming cc means cottage cheese? Sounds fine to me. I do an mrp as a post-post workout meal sometimes, if I don't have time for a chicken breast. You're bulking right?

That's fine as long as the mrp has casein in it and is not straight whey.

yeh, clean bulk....sometimes I'll do something in the gym like a pc of fruit, yogurt, skim, whey and cereal or rice cakes - blend t all up....others I will do dext and whey......then when I get home, I just feel like a MRP like myoplex and then prepare a nice size meal in a few hrs......like peanuts,almonds cottage cheese, omlete, chx oats....etc. Then crash will my tank full....all in all it's 3 meals of approx. 1,700 cals in 3 hrs.....to much?

Reasoning?

He's having cottage cheese + fats shortly thereafter anyway...

 

[Joe Stick]

no, not too much

right on brotha. no such thing as too much calories when bulking! got to make sure your body has all the energy it needs to build muscle...especially when on the juice.

 

[JKurz1]

right on, but are they good clean cals? Anyone do 2 shakes and a meal minutes before bed? Stay lean? I've lost so much weight, but can't get over the mental factor of pigging out........I need to learn to eat OFTEN and whatever....

Anyone ever eat clean m-f and then cheat hard on the weekends? I also need to learn to crank the cals.......

If you are not in an energy surplus, then you have no worries about dong this. The body needs to be nourished, and if your workout warranted it, no reason not to.

If you are worried about staying lean, as many of us are, myself included, you may proceed like this instead of an all out bulk. You apparantely are at or close to maintenance calories at this point if I am reading in between the lines correctly.

Start on an intelligent additon to create a caloric surplus. In other words, if say 2500 calories is your maintenance, increase by 300 calories per day. This will give 2100 extra calories per week. It takes approx. 3500 calories to make a lb., so in under 2 weeks you will be adding this.

You can start it with protein if you like. Simply adding 3 scoops of protein per day to your normal intake will typically add approx. 300 calories per day. This will start a small calorie surplus.

Do this for a few weeks, however you choose to add 300 calories, and see what happens. Then if you decide to, at some point as you gain this calorie amount will now become your maintenance calories, another increase is in order. Of course, the cleaner the additions the better.
