CuriousCat Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'd love some feedback on my post workout breakfast. Eating, even snacking pre workout isn't a practical option - I'm up at 5, running or gyming by 10 past, and working out just after eating (anything) and I puke. So trying to make the most of my post workout breakfast- Photo attached- -breakfast sausage patties -1/2 avocado -apple -2 spoonfuls almond butter -sweet potato "toast" (1/2 small sweet potato) Is that too much carbs? Not enough protein? I feel it should have more in the way of veg, but I'm struggling with veg first thing in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What's your schedule postWO? You want to be having a post WO meal of lean protein & starchy carb only, and then following that up a little later with a template breakfast. The fat in this meal will slow down absorption of the nutrients preventing muscle protein synthesis, hence the need for a separate postWO meal... I eat a postWO meal at the gym before I shower, then I have breakfast 45/60mins later when I'm at my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousCat Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Aaaahh, okay, that makes a bit more sense. I hadn't thought of it as the fat preventing. How long do you reckon the gap needs to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My gap between the snack and my next meal is usually ~15-20 minutes. So eating it as soon as I'm done working out, then heading home to have dinner (I work out in the late afternoon) is just fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My gap would be 45mins to an hour depending on traffic from the gym to my office.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
