how do you eat after lifting?

[Mr.Kachok]

I dont know about you guys, but after a lifting session, i feel like im gonna lose it, much less think about eating more.

I down a shake right after, but feel sick for a few hours thinkin about it, so my question is, how do you guys take down hot food in summer (meat n stuff)? and can you live of shakes; i got 10 pounds of powder here!?

 

[Lord_Suston]

I don't think living off a shake is that good. I drink about 1/2 a glass of oj to restore blood sugar and then I eat a cold salad with tuna and eggs in it. Alway has been easy on my stomach

 

[Mr.Kachok]

thats a good idea, cold tuna sandwich, didnt think of it!, thx

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Whole foods and lots of them.

 

[Mr.Kachok]

whole foods dont go down just stuffed down like 10 'tiftalkes' (phrikadelki) (russian food)

 

[PolishHammer1977]

I know what you mean brutha

I have been eating that way since I remember how to eat. Ask Lord Suston what the plates in my parents house look like? lolololol

I usually have a weight gainer shake (930 cals, 55 prot, 125 carb), followed by a chicken or beef sandwich a while later.

But I like the sound of your post workout meal. I think I'll give that a whirl. Ya think swapping chicken for the tuna would be just as good?

[Lord_Suston]

yeah just as good, the only problem with having a shake is that it is short amino acids; so after about 45 minutes your body has digested them all and is starving for more protein. I like tuna cause it is cheap and the make em in pouches now,lol

 

[louden_swain]

I typically drink protein and carbs after a workout, then 1 hour later I will eat a large meal.

 

[JollyRogers]

shake & sandwich or 2 = 44-65 g Protien : 450-750 cals

 

[Liftbig]

whey/dextrose shake right after workout, and 1 1/2 -2 hrs later a baked potato and some chicken breasts.

 

[Serea]

I don't usually eat much after I work out. I have a large water and an apple or something like that. I'm trying to lose weight though, and I only work out for health/strength, not to get huge.

My appetite goes down after a workout, but I could easily eat as much as I want. That's never a problem for me.

I put a powdered milk/splenda combo in my coffee though. Tastes good.

 

[Liftbig]

you really should eat something after you workout.

 

[Zander1983]

I have a pretty standard 60g carb/30g protein shake immediately after my workout.

Anywhere between 1/2 an hour and 1.5 hours later I get my SWAIN on with whole foods.

 

[BIGJGrimm]

Later......

[JollyRogers]

Welcome to the board BIGJGrimm and by the sounds of it you already know eating is imprtiant, karma for that ..hehe

 

[MeatHead57]

after wrk out i have a shale w/ 70 g protein, 200 carbs then a huge 1500 cal meal right after!!

 

[Mr.Kachok]

I swained it today, downed a shake and said, screw u im goin to the buffet. Got 2.5 pounds of meat, chicken and crab, and am sitting with it now. Im full and 1.5 pounds left :{ lol

 

[jeremys]

usually a shake then a good solid meal

but lately it's been a side of rice and tuna w/ prego sauce on the tuna

 

[NWinters]

i use to puke all the time after my workouts. I remember driving home from the gym one day and throwing up my protien shake all over my lap. I never use to be hungry after working out, but now thats all i wanna do is eat afterwards.

 

[Mr.Kachok]

how did u change it around nw?

 

[louden_swain]

Enough of the shakes that are lacking in calories. . .

EAT EAT EAT!!!

 

[slinky]

Shakes are snacks.

I make sure I eat plenty of food.

After event training, we usually cook up some burgers; burgers and beer. One night, we didn't want to cook, so we stopped in at a nearby pizza joint and ordered a large pizza with A LOT of meat (sausage, bacon..etc.) and beer (of course).

 

[NWinters]

eat light, non greasy foods before you lift!!!!!! I use to eat bacon and eggs before my lifts, and soon found out that was the wrong approach. Now i eat a couple pieces of burnt toast, and maybe a hard boiled egg and a bolw of cereal.

 

[NWinters]

oh yeah..that reminds me, Im ordering out tonight, a 16" Hawian Delight!!!! It has bbq sauce chunks of chicken and pineapples.....fuckin great!!!!!!

 

[hellboy]

I lift on my lunch break. As soon as I'm done I walk next door to the Kroger and get a half gallon of skim milk and a protein bar and spend the rest of my day at work downing it. Then I eat a couple of dinners at home. The milk has really helped me the last few weeks to add on some extra weight. I'm gonna keep it up.

 

[WalkingBeast]

Id suggest looking for ways to relax calm your nerves wait it out a little then when your heart rate is somewhat normal again SWAIN like a motherfucker! hehe

 

[MULE1]

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

 

[Him1]

I have a shake right after, 45g Protein and 50 carbs, then an hour later 8 oz meat and some of the new pasta I've found, it has 30g Protein.

 

[rippedup]

No shake here.

- a big bowl of natural oatmeal mixed with 25 g worth of protein from a good protein blend.

 

[MeatHead57]
