Diet

[Wyld]

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.

 

 

That is what I do for pre work out...

 

Post work out -- gatorade and dinner? How soon after workout should I eat dinner?

 

Whats a good whey protein drink for a female?

 

Thanks!

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.

 

Depending on the activity level of the individual, but the average is 40-30-30...

 

People usually eat way too much protein and that makes them fat

Eat light snack of carbs or drink protein shake 30 mins - 1hr before workout to give you a boost of energy and prevents you from feeling tired.

You need to eat combi of carbs and protein or drink a protein shake after workout to prevent muscle catabolism with in the hour. In other words eat after workout to prevent further muscle breakdown and jumpstart the muscle building immediately.

 

I usually workout in the afternoon after my work which is 5:30pm or 6:pm so that I can eat dinner at 7 after my workout.

 

Important:

Do not sleep 3 hours after workout.

Do not sleep 3 hourse after eating.

 

Sleeping shuts down our digestive system preventing nutrients from reaching our muscles.

Guys can you give us a sample meal that you usually eat from day to day?

I agree with the post about maintaining a ballanced diet. I eat anything and everyting - in moderation offcourse. I don't deprive myself of the food I like, but I also never indulge. My being a sandwhich and salad person also helped.

 

One thing I do is to eat smaller portions, but eat more often. Instead of the regular breakfast / lunch / dinner where you tend to eat heavy, I eat 5-6 times a day in smaller portions. Think of it like your adding your total food for the day and dividing it by five. I avoid feeling full, and feel lighter the whole day. I read somewhere that the food you don't "burn" in 2-3 hours is what gets stored as fat.

 

Works for me.

Correct! Cut down on rice. This works for me :thumbsupsmiley:

dont eat rice lang , that's super effective. and less sweets. You can, basta ginusto mo. ewan ko na lang kung hindi ka mangayayat like my body.

dapat marunong tayo mag- control or balance sa food.

avoid fast food and instant meals that is not that nutritious, try colorful meals like veggies, fruits and phyto-protein. drink atleast three liters of water a day. avoid sodas and try to have 30 minute walk a day.

Its always better to eat AT LEAST a piece of sandwich before your workout (not heavy meals) especially when you workout after coming from the office.

 

Its always better to eat AT LEAST a piece of sandwich before your workout (not heavy meals) especially when you workout coming from the office. post workout meals will be dependent upon the time you finish (i.e if you finish your workout just before lunch then your post-workout meal is your lunch, if youre done before dinner then your dinner will be your post-workout meal etc.)

high fiber and high protein diet 1 hour before workout

You might be interested in this... there's a website that has an assessment of the calories per meal

just remember a person's average consumption is between 1500-2000 cal/day

A good power bar before workout always helps. Can't train hard when you're gettin hungry. A granola bar or some trail mix is also a good alternative.

 

After workout, that's when I take some protein shake and some dinner. Can't sleep though for the next two hours.
