MrsKennel Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 So today I have to be gone for a good stretch of time... I will be dropping my daughter off, going grocery shopping (I'll stop home to drop the grocerys off quickly), going to lift, then going straight to coaching my class. That being said, do I need a pre and post workout meal for weight lifting? Can I combine lunch and post workout together and eat in the car on the way to class? Or should I just pack my pre and post workout meals and eat them in transit then have lunch after class (around 1/130) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckertoe Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Is it possible to prep some pre and post workout snacks the night before and have them in the fridge to grab. Boiled eggs, chopped up veggie sticks, baked potatoes, salads.avocado, home made Mayo, peeled lettuce leaves, deli chicken. Pop them in those plastic boxes that are used for freezing left overs, in ready snack packs. Grab and go. Add some nuts for fats instead of Mayo for less mess if your on the go.

MrsKennel Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Yea, I've got easy made meals but I'm wondering about the timeline of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted November 5, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sorry no one got to this before, since I'm guessing now it's a little late to be helpful. Pre- and Post-WO meals are in addition to your three regular meals. Skipping them once may not hurt anything, but you do need them, especially a post-WO if you're lifting. It's for muscle repair (the lean protein) and replacing muscle glycogen (the starchy vegetable). So, probably would have been best to do a post-WO as soon as possible after lifting, and then lunch when you can after that. Here's more about post-WO meals.
