| | | Important Post-W.O. question
I know that it's best to have a protein shake right after working out, and then your first meal about an hour after that. The gym I'm going to has a bar that can make the shake for me. It's got 45g of whey protein in one serving, I believe. However, I recall the guy saying it's about 600 calories due to all of the protein!
On my diet, I only consume 300-330 calories per meal.
What should I do? |

| | | There is no way its just protein then. It more than likely is loaded with fat and carbs as well.
Go out and buy yourself some Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey and mix that with dextrose for a PWO shake. You want little to no fat consumed at this time. |

What should I do? | avoid fat post workout.
And can anyone tell me WHY someone says you should actually wait before you eat after a workout? your muscles needs fuel ASAP, the longer you wait, the smaller the "window" in which the nutrition you eat/drink goes right to your muscles will be. |

| | | Consume some carbohydrate with the protein (e.g. The banana) Protein helps repair muscle damage but it isnt efficient if the muscle CHO stores havent been replenished. |

| | Yeah the banana is all carbohydrate thats what I wrote. Consume some carbohydrate with the protein (example: banana) I dont know how to punctuate that  |

Cheers | it slows digestion making it harder for protein/carbs to reach the muscles, at a time when it needs it right away. |

| | www.johnberardi.com advocates the dextrose or maltodextrin with your whey shake PWO.
he also advocates sipping a diluted protein shake DURING training as well |

| | i think people worry to much about getting food in sraight away post workout.
IMO what we eat over a twenty four hour period is more important.
