juju Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I work out first thing in the morning, usually fasted or after a HB egg. I work out at home so after my workout I have breakfast within 15-20 minutes or the time it takes to get it together. It doesn't seem necessary for me to have a mini post workout meal and then eat a real breakfast a bit later. ISWF suggests the bonus meal after a workout followed by a normal meal a bit later. I may have missed something but it seems like I am getting the post workout nutrition within a reasonable window by just eating breakfast and the bonus meal would just be in excess. Yes? No?

limejuicy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Does your post workout mini meal just contain lean meat and a starchy veg? I think that's the point of it. Something your body can process quickly, but not as quickly as fruit. A lean protein + starchy veg is not enough for me to be satiated until my next full meal, hence my real Meal #1 is eaten 75-90 min after my post WO meal. That is where I will get those satiating fats. However, it probably depends on each person whether or not this works. I prefer it because I have noticed my hunger levels aren't out of control all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juju Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Usually my PWO meal/ breakfast is a tin of sardines, an egg and some kabocha squash or a Japanese sweet potato and some broccoli slaw. This usually leaves me full for 4 + hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Claydon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 juju- your meal sounds good to me...unless there is a lot of fat in your slaw? If so, try taking that out and see how that effects your hunger. If you PWO meal is lean and starchy that's great. If it keeps you full until lunch than I don't see a problem with it. You don't want force feed...the main idea is listening to your body. Make sure you are eating enough at lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juju Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Great, thanks for the feedback. The slaw is just straight up broccoli slaw. I don't add any fat to the PWO meal, all the fat comes from what is naturally in the egg and sardines (packed in H2O). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
