Okey.. never Crash diet..coz when you crash diet ..you tend to eat a little bit after the crashing.that which makes it BAD... It happens like this..your cells when you crash diet will sink abruptly ..and after your crash diet. . you tend to eat a little bit..but your cells now will get it back with vengeance in doubles and trebles.. it's a rebound thing..or YOYO dieting.. then you find yourself heavier than ever..this time..

i make my diet simple to maintain weight.

 

you know yourself better... if you eat this amount of food and do nothing but still maintain your weight, then do something extra to lose weight... use the stairs for a couple of floors instead of using the elevator perhaps...

 

take it from there and do the math yourself...

I workout in the morning before eating breakfast! I would only drink coffee to boost energy and hit the irons. Then, eat right away after working out to fuel my stressed muscles!

 

It works for me.

[Mamang Tahimik]

I don't workout (ie. lift weights) anymore, but I do exercise alot. I eat after, not before/during an exercise.

All I know is you need energy to work out, if your bulding mass, you have to eat kung hindi, you wont be able to lift your max.

i open the gym at 6am so i definitely take my breakfast after workout...sa opisina na...around 930.

cut down on the carbs

[paolo22]

30mins to 1hour before is usually the norm for eating, post workout, should be within 2hours..a good balanced meal

 

correct me if im wrong

 

its good to eat within an hour or two (max) after workout..

I eat a light protein-carb snack 1 hour before a workout, and nothing till I workout. Post-gym, protein snack after 1 hour, with or followed by a complex carb snack. Need to eat within two hours after or else you're starved.

[freezer]

high protein and low carbs. eat small portions.

This is my dilemma ... I got the eating before the work out part down pat - a bout w/ hypoglycemia several times during the work out made me really conscious of eating before I go to the gym...

 

Its the eating after that stumps me... whats a protein snack? Whats a complex carb snack? What are my portions?

 

Help!

Low carb/high protein are over-rated... its better to balance everything out and reduce overall calories

Hmmm... Do you mean 1:1:1 ratio for carbs, fats and protein? In my opinion, I find the 2:2:1 ratio the best for a normal person striving to be fit. It means 40% from carbs, 40% from protein and 20% from fats. When striving to to "cut down" I slightly raise my protein intake, and lower my carbohydrate consumption. A rough estimate would be 50-60% protein, and the remaining would be a balance between carbs and fats. Although I must admit that this diet is not really realistic for the long term.

To make things simpler, 30 mins. to an hour before working out, you may want to have 2 slices of wheat bread with egg salad/cottage cheese/lean ham and etc. After working out, take a bottle of gatorade and maybe you might want to try whey protein drinks.
