Originally posted by Slylee So I went to the grocery store last night and cleaned out the fridge and cabinets. I�m going to be preparing meals like shrimp stir fry (over brown rice instead of white rice), and turkey burgers instead of hamburgers, on whole wheat buns, meatballs made from ground turkey and sirloin over wheat pasta, etc�mostly just substituting healthy alternatives in my diet. Now�my workout time is going to be anywhere between 7:30-9:00. I don�t like going to the gym right after work because it�s really packed then. Should I go home first and eat those meals and let my food settle and then go work out? What about the whole protein shake and/or protein within 45 minutes of your workout? That�s mostly for weight training right? I�m mostly going to be doing cardio and abs in the beginning. Light on the weight training, more on cardio at first, so is it ok to skip the whole protein rule until I start focusing mainly on lifting weights? Or.. Should I have something light for breakfast (I usually grab a banana on my way out the door and eat it in the car with a full bottle of water) and then have a late lunch like a sub or something and then not have dinner until after my workout? Maybe I�ll have a snack before the gym like a granola bar and some fruit..just something to hold me over until I eat dinner. Right now I just want to tighten things up a bit and get my heart in shape.

I wouldn't worry about getting a high protein meal in after your workout until you are doing weight training. Then you need to get the protein to your muscles quickly, and the shakes are good for that because they are easy to digest.

Since you are talking about just tightening up and getting your heart in shape I'd say eat dinner first, then work out later. If you are not working out until between 7:30 and 9 at night after that would be pretty late at night to eat a full meal. If I was trying to loose weight eating late at night wasn't good for me, you never really have time to burn off any of the calories from that meal before you go to bed. Weight training is a whole different story, getting a protein meal before bed is important then.

A lot of people think eating late at night is bad but in all honesty it doesn't matter when you consume your calories what matters is how many calories you are intaking a day.

I dunno, maybe, but for me personally it seemed to work better if I didn't eat late at night when cutting. Plus if I only have X number of calories to eat during the day I'm gonna eat them earlier on to keep me from feeling hungry all the time not an hour before I go to bed when I'm gonna be asleep anyway.

The reason people say not to eat at night is because people tend to consume extra calories. I personally know I'm awake for a long time so I snack a bit at night so I just won't have something with so many calories earlier on in the day...I'm not talking about a full on meal but wheat pita with hummus or some trail mix at midnight.

morning workouts suck :\ I hate them. I haev breakfast at 7:30 and workout at like 10 followed by another good meal

ok so i'll just do my normal fruit in the morning and then lunch at lunch time (sandwiches, soup, etc...) and then i'll go home and fix my meal and then do my workout. i always work up an appetite though so i'll just have a piece of fruit when i get home or some cereal.

i got some vanilla soy milk and special K. that's a good snack before bed.

i love my morning workouts, I'm usually at the gym at 530AM. Well I put the weights down and stopped my weekly lifting routine. traded out the plates for a pair of running sneakers! I've been runnin for about 3 weeks now on the treadmill and i'm averaging 2-3 miles per run. I do some small shoulders and arms lifting before I run just to keep the muscles moving.

so far i'm down 15lbs, another 20 to go, diet is steady, routine is steady, so hopefully before winter i'll be down to 155-160 and i'll muscle back up through the winter.

RUN:NYC!

do you use protein shakes?

i use scitec whey protein, 2 shakes a day:

1 shake: 500ml of milk, 25 grams of proteins and one egg (only the white stuff) ...that's 16+25+7=48 grams of proteins

so 2 shakes a day means 96 grams/day....i don't know how much i get from meals tho. i'm 85 kg.

any suggestion?

edit: sometimes i take 5 grams of creatine monohydrate with the shake too.

I finally joined a gym last week and it's been kicking my ass. I thought I was in shape with all the workouts I'd been doing, but I was wrong.

i love food too much to be able to tolerate protein shakes. they're gross and upset my stomach sometimes, especially after a hard workout. i can tolerate myoplex vanilla in the blender with some frozen fruit, but that's about it.

as an alternative, i'd rather crack open a can of starkist albacore tuna in water....drain it, add some tomato, cucumbers, lime juice, salt & pepper and just eat it like that.

you should try my protein shake, i made one for sash and said it was 'official'

half banana, 4 frozen strawberries, water, 3 ice cubes, 2 scoops protein, 1 scoop of l-glutamine, and 2 caps of glucosamine (chondrin+MSM)

blend and drink out of straw..mmmm I want one now

ehh...tuna and veggies are cheaper

Slylee - I can't bring myself to drink those shakes either. I would rather eat solid food. The tuna thing you mentioned sounds good...



On another note, I've been kicking my own ass at the gym and it feels awesome. Finished with school and internship so I can officially go back to 5 days a week @ 2hours/day without stressing about other stuff.

the shakes are a supplement. Its hard to take in 200+ grams of pure protein a day.

bigger you get the more protein you need. Its for people shooting for muscular builds.

Trimming down its also nice to lose the fat and maintain the muscle but not as important.

The only time I really used them was right after I lifted to get a large amount of protein in quickly.

Other than that I always preferred tuna, chicken, eggs or something like that

yep all depends on what you are aiming for but it sucks that when you trim down you lose the muscle, i was much stronger when i was chubbier

egg salad sammies on whole wheat are healthy right?

um i would say no

hahaha


i always call them "sammies" screw u.


anyway, it's not? why? because of the yolk and mayo?

i mean, it's better than a burger or pizza. it's a sandwich on whole wheat! with lettuce and tomato...it's got protein in it.

i hope it works out...

Well it depends if you put mayo on it or not. Some people prefer their 'sammies' without the mayo, which is much healthier.

The egg white contains lots of protein.

oh.



yea not that funny.
