Pre vs. post workout meals

[RandiW]

So while I was in my strict W30 I didn't work out at all - I went on long walks, but didn't go to the gym. I wanted to see how it would go without gym time. 

 

I'm thinking of getting back into a gym routine and am looking at the pre and post workout meal templates... Can Meal 1 be my pre-workout meal? I understand eating a small post-workout meal that's neither Meal 1 or 2, but I can't fathom eating a pre AND post workout meal that's neither meal 1 or 2. I simply cannot find the time in the day to eat so much food. 

 

Is it better to eat meal 1, then right before a work out, eat a pre-workout meal, then make meal 2 my post workout meal  OR is it better to have meal 1 be a pre-workout meal, then eat a post-workout meal and have a separate meal 2?  

 

Anyone following what I'm saying? lol.

Post workout is more important to be the recommended lean protein and starchy carbs (no fat!), so if you had to pick, I'd pick to eat breakfast before your workout and then have the post workout be the recommendation.
