yo guys,
Here in the Netherlands there isn't much info available so I gotta keep buggin you all ;)
What I wanna know is, I get up at 5.30 do my thing, read this forum , go to work till 17.00, rush home
at 1800 clock I work-out till 20.30-2100, but
when should I have my evening meal?? before training ( between 1700-1800), but then I'm training on a full stomach or after training (21.30-21.00) , but then I'm training on a empty stomach and eating around 21.00 .
other times aren't an option for me
greetz,
chris

hey bro, i see your time spent working out is 2 1/2-3 hrs- that's a long time hitting the weights! why not go an hour later? get your meal in when you get home- give yourself an hour or 2 to digest, then go hit the iron. you def do not want to skip your pre- workout meal.
the quicker you work out after your meal, you should eat a smaller, easier assimilated meal.
if you have 2 hours between, go ahead and eat a heavier meal- you don't want to go to the gym with a stomach full of heavy food. everybody is different when it comes to how fast they can digest their food. you need to find out for yourself and plan accordingly
...and don't forget to eat a solid PWO meal too!

You should be eating every three hours. Have a meal an hour before workout, a shake immediately after workout, and then another meal within an hour of the shake. Then it starts every three hours again.

hey thanx wel it's excactly 2,5-3 hours with weights, I start out with weights and end with 40 minutes on the crosstrainer. Yeah I will probably try to go a little later or eat the half of it first and the rest an hour after training.

yeah man, I eat every 2,5-3 hours, and my shakes come right after the workout, I'll go and eat the second half of the meal an hour after training than. My girlfriend makes enough dinner so.
thanx mates for the advice.
kind regards,
chris
