Hey, quick few questions. First, what's the time frame for some between their preworkout meal and actually hitting the gym to lift some weights. I used to eat two slices of whole wheat bread about 30 minutes before heading out. Then I got the idea that maybe an hour before my supps and such would be better for me and then I would head out.
Also, does anyone eat fast digesting carbs shortly following their workout? This would be before dinner for me. But seeing as my goal is to try to cut a good amount of body fat off while gaining a good amount of muscle, I'm trying to figure out the nutrition behind fueling my workouts, seeing as I was informed early that nutrition is perhaps the biggest part of this whole game.

pre-w/o meal for me is 1 hour before w/o with a protein and carb source.
post w/o meal is 1 hour after my post workout shake that consist of a protein source and an insuline spiking carbs like white rice baked tater..ect

So you're actually having meals and not just like...a mini meal to put it best?

So you're actually having meals and not just like...a mini meal to put it best? Not sure what you mean by mini meal. So let me give you an example of a pre w/o meal: 4-5 oz chx breast 28-35g protein 2/3 cups oats 40ish grams carbs iced tea or 10 egg whites 35g 2 slices whole wheat toast 35g 2 tbsp sugar free jam 10g |

I usually have some "sludge" before heading out the door to the gym. I haven't been too concerned about carbs lately because of contest prep (essentially no carbs).
For me....having the protein in the gut being digested makes more sense than trying to squeeze a protein meal in right after my workout....I'm just not hungry after I lift. I do have a real food meal within 2 hours of my workout. I'm not saying this is optimal for everyone, but is not making me sick while working out and I'm still pretty strong in the gym. Still learning though.
Be careful with intra workout supplements though. A lot of those have upwards of 20g of protein in them. Sorry....still watching those calories! ;D

You got some GREAT answers here. Just for more options this is my EXACT ritual on training days:
75-min pre workout: Whey Protein & EFA's
20-min pre workout: NO/Pre workout supplement (either WTF Pumpd w/ BCAA or NO Shotgun)
During Workout: 15 gram eaa/bcaa mix + 7 grams glutamine
Immediate Post WO: 20-40 Grams Waxy Maize or Vitargo, 7 Grams BCAA, 5 Grams Glutamine (or NO Synthesize)
30-min post WO: Whey Protein or Egg Whites 20-40 Grams mixed high and low gi carbs
*Carbs are dependent on time of year/goals (Bulk, maintaining, cutting)

if it is a Solid meal...
like
6oz chicken breast
1-2 cup rice
Salad
I would wait about 60-90minute before starting the workout
Mealreplacementshake
I would wait about 30-45 minute before starting the workout
Postworkoutshake should be taken immediately afterworkout.
PostworkoutMeal should be taken about 30-60minute after Postworkout shake.

I am a believer in liquid protein both pre and post workout. I will use whey/fats about 45 minutes before training and whey/fast carbs about 20 minutes after training.

I think THE ONE delays because he takes his supplements like BCAA, Krealkalyn ,etc. immediately after his last set of his workout.
His tip was 30-45minutes before meals on a relatively empty stomach for those supplmeents .

I was reading his posts to mean he was waiting after his workout, not pre, to supplement with protein. I have always been someone to eat a full meal exactly 90min prior to set-1, and for the past few months I have been having a semi-food supplement like SizeOn v.2 or Stealth, to supply a calorie rich anabolic ingredient pool to uphold the catalyst of training. I don't know if I am going to train today, because its Christmas Eve and I have some PS3 Modern Warfare 2 to pla.... errrrr, I mean, some books to read and articles to write! |

I take a few supplements immediately after training which I want hitting me on an empty stomach and somewhat absorbed before I introduce "whole foods" into my system. |
