DianeWh Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi all - not a question so much about content of pre/post workout meals but the timing of them. Morning exercise is just not an option - so I have to go to the gym after work, and I can't make it earlier than 1830 (I walk to and from work). Problem is, I'll get home from pumping iron about an hour and a half later. Do I just go straight to dinner and forget the post wo meal? I don't think eating dinner before will work because I'd be shoving food in in a hurry and would end up sick. Any advice about timing/meal spacing?

missmary Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 the recommendation is to get some lean protein and (optional) starchy carb within 30 minutes post-workout. So, you would best meet the recommendation by eating something right after your workout (probably at the gym) followed by meal #3 once you make it home. Pre-workout is more variable. If you need something for performance, have a small portion of protein and fat (no carbs), like a hard boiled egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
