SPARTAN MUSCLE - Importance of eating "Post Workout"

[justinhardt1]

You know what I do? Eat anything and everything in sight... tuna.. ice cream.. cereal with lots of milk... ramen... fruit smoothies.. burritos.. tv freakin dinners..

[justinhardt1]

@justinhardt1 I drink milk by the gallon... An apple? Fuck yo apple

[MrBenIPresume]

@justinhardt1 that's how it's done

[nick888ph]

whey protein and half of a frozen banana 15 minutes post workout

a lean cut of meat and some complex carbs 45 minutes post workout

[MrBenIPresume]

you can do better than an apple dude, talk about real nutrition. apples have high amounts of sugar, not just carbs. post-workout, you want simple carbs, not sugar, so you want something like waxy maize mixed with a low-carb protein shake, not an apple lol

[justinhardt1]

@MrBenIPresume You do realize that sugar IS a simple carb, right?

[MrBenIPresume]

@justinhardt1 a simple carb isn't always sugar though. i already gave one example of a non-sugar simple carb. learn to read

[justinhardt1]

@MrBenIPresume Learn to read? Someones a bit sensitive. Why would you even use shakes and mixes? Waste of money, in my opinion.

[MrBenIPresume]

@justinhardt1 the idea is to have pre-digested protein available asap post-workout, so if you're consuming chicken, it'll take much longer to digest. there's a period of about 45 minutes after weightlifting where your body can most efficiently use protein, so consuming chicken wouldn't be the best first option. a shake solves the problem. waxy maize is particularly good after weights because it shuttles protein twice as fast as glucose into your cells to repair and build muscle. it's a science.

@MrBenIPresume I drink a lot of milk, with protein throughout the way. Big breakfast, so that I have constant food throughout my body, even when I workout. I spend my money on lots of food, instead of shakes and things. About a gallon of milk a day or two every 3 days.. any meat I can.. I burn through it so fast that I have to down anything and everything to gain weight. If you want to get lean, or lose weight though.. I'd say shakes are the way to go.. but for me, I want real food.

[justinhardt1]

@MrBenIPresume Just different way and ideas about it I guess.. to each their own :)

[MrBenIPresume]

@justinhardt1 i don't mean to be rude, my bad.

[aYglr]

banana is the OK post workout fruit, also potasium is good for not getting sore... here is the thing, you dont want get carbs from sugar, i rather to buy pure carb powder and whey protein, make my own recovery drink,... 2 carbs 1 protein..

[reinkaos82]

An apple? Are you fucking kidding me?

[HateFenians]

I had a breakfast, then did my workout then had a biscuit then had a hamburger for some protein.

[MrVENICEBEACH]

Ahhh..the secret to being a stick...eat an Apple after i workout..eh

[jimmybro001]

[Nonsaneness]
