That is a good one Vinny... Anything with salsa and you've got me. I like the extra hot stuff though.
Favorite postworkout meal? After I have my shake, probably london broil and potatoes. Peace, G
I usually cook up 2-3 decent sized eye of round steaks, a cup of steamed vegetables like broccoli or brussel sprouts, and 1 cup of oatmeal. It's the best, plus it's the only time besides breakfast that I eat any other type of carbs except fruits or veggies. Vinny I like yours to, from the universal nutrition site you look meaner and meaner each week. G Diesel I keep up with your bodyspace profile and you are an animal, your workouts are the hardest of hard.
After my shake..1 cup of White rice, 3 whole eggs and a can of tuna all Mixed.
After my shake it's usually 2 cups of brown rice with 8oz of chicken breast. I try to keep veggies and fat to a minimum at this time as it could slow digestion.

my favorite would have to be....whey protein...3-5 g of creatine mixed w/ gatorade...and either a chicken breast or 4 cubs rice
This is my hardest meal.I do 60gr Ultra-Iso whey and 50gr dextrose as soon as I finish training.Then I drive home about 30 mins,I'm still not ready for a big meal so I will mix 1 cup white rice and 8oz ground beef and eat that.
Then eat again befor bed.

I hear ya on that Big Al... Immediately after training, it is a struggle for me to get down a whole food meal because my system is all revved up. Once I rest and relax for a while I'm able to eat and my hunger hits me like a ton of bricks. Peace, G
the only day i cant eat anything for about 30-45 min after, is leg day....but usually i'm downing a big meal after any training session.

Immediately after the workout:
60gr whey
50gr oatmeal
+/- 30min
200gr chiken breast
150gr white rice
30g of Whey Protein mixed with H20
Since it takes me about 30 minutes to get home I usually will cook like 15 minutes after walking in the door..
I like it nice and simple..
2 Chicken Breast or 1 midsized steak
1 big sweet potatoe..
That hits the spot haha
protein shake is not a meal.. i think
the best from food is white rice with boiled egg whites , but i rather like chicken
good old chicken..

i normaly do 1 cup of rice mixed with a can of tuna and soy sauce and some good ol' franks red hot...sometimes i throw in a shake or a PB & J
after my PWO shake, i get down a sirlion steak with yams or sweet potatoes and brocolli religiously.

a can of tuna(with oil)+ a can of white beans in tomato sauce
throw both in a bowl,mix up(NO BLENDING FOR F*KS SAKE!) and eat up,if its not enough,eat some whole grain pastry with it

01-23-07, 5:03 pm

01-23-07, 5:32 pm
Meat Enchiladas, rice and refried beans, any kind of pasta with meat sauce and sometimes three double 1/4 pounders with cheese. I can't get steak or Yard Bird down after I workout. My carb craving is at it's highest then.

01-23-07, 11:35 pm
i always throw back some real gains right after i finish lifting to get some clean carbs and protein in, wait 1.5 hours or so and then hunt down some red meat (lately its been either 90/10 ground beef or flank steak) and brown rice or oats, depending on whats on hand. good calls on the combos with salsa, it definitely makes a postworkout meal less of a chore.

01-23-07, 11:42 pm
- Shake w/ peanut butter
- Either hamburger meat with broccoli
- Or marinated cajun chicken grilled up with some hot sauce over Success brown rice, isn't that stuff the best Vinny? 10 minutes in boiling water for 3 cups of rice ready to go. Nothing easier.

Protein Shake - 50 grams of Protein
and a can of your favorite soda for the simple sugars.
Drink that after your workout before you leave the gym.
Within the next hour, get a food meal with at least 50-75 of protein, and 100 grams of complex carbs (pasta, rice, potato, etc..), throw in another sugery drink here also (tea, soda, etc)...
Get some rest.. and GROW!
chicken, beef OR tuna with either rice or sweet potatoe and broccoli or salad
45 minutes after my NITRO of course

i take Storm, BCAA's, 40g of whey and a scoop of dextrose (50-60g?)
then, about 30-45 minutes later. sometimes even less. whatever food i already have cooked in the fridge. steak, chicken, hamburgers. maybe cook some eggs. then with fruit and oats blended up together and some nuts on the side.
can't wait for my real gains to come in the mail. might use that. or just save it for a MRP. i already have a 10 lb and 5lb of whey and 15lb's of dextrose.

Dude, how can you drink pop while lifting?
IDK, it helps me lift though. Specially in this 90+ heat. Oh and BTW, never, EVER drink milk while working out in hot weather.
nitro pak and shaker cup of tang mix with glutamine then half hr. later shake of 4 raw eggs,skim milk,oats ,honey,bananna
Immediatly post workout: nitro, storm and 5g glutamine
30 mins later: 50g whey isolate, 3 packs of sugar oatmeal, 1 tbsp of honey and a handfull of raisins.
30 mins later: 7oz sirloin steak, 7oz potaoe (mashed in olive oil), 2 cups greens, 1 cup fat free yogurt, then i relax with a diet soda.
depending on a cut/bulk...
Bulk: 2.5 scoops whey with milk, peanut butter and oats and sometimes a homemade protein bar.
cut: 2.5 scoops whey in water.

08-13-07, 1:33 pm
My favorite is 2-3 chicken breasts with rice and broccoli, but I'll take any slab of meat with rice/pasta/potatoes. I drink some Real Gains about 1.5 hrs after this meal. I see steady gains with this kind of eating after training.

Far Beyond Driven
08-26-07, 8:04 pm
this is the one meal where I'm not especially portion conscious. 12oz. or more of lean meat, pile of skins-on mashed potatoes with butter, pile of broccoli, spinach, or asparagus, and a few glasses of water. Like I said, it's not really scientific or portion conscious, but I make sure I get enough of what I need, and don't care if I get a little too much. I have a fast metabolism and can afford it.
Directly postworkout, I do 50 g protein powder, 5g creatine, 5g glutamine, and bcaa's with water.

I like coming home from lifting and resting for 20 minutes and then I bought a half of a cow from the local processor so I cook myself a massive porterhouse steak some brown potatoes a thing of uncle bens microwaveable brown rice a can of either spinach or green beans and my protein shake. I then have to go sit for 15 minutes because i feel like i might die from being so full. it really helps with the bulking though!

50gram protein shake with creatine/leucine/vitamins/minerals. My personal favorite for carbs is Peach Rings or Gummy Worms(80gs of sugar). That's usually 15 minutes after the workout. I continue by eating my dinner usually fish/steak/chicken and I work out at night so it's carbless.

an hour after the shake: 3-4 eggs, 6 egg whites, a cup of tomato sauce, 1 cup of broccoli

12-10-07, 7:47 pm
hey what do you guys think? when u train at night or evening...im still pretty sure you should be slamming down 50/50 ratio of dextrose and maltodextrin post work out with ur protein...but should u stick to carbs for the meal after or just veggies with protein? and also....what about just using oatmeal instead of dex and malto? what would be the benefits and cons about that?

I was wondering what the best thing immediately post-workout is. I dont have the money to dish out for nitro like i used to. I was wondering what would be best to take right after an intense workout like gatorade or some type of high, simple sugar drink or food. I'm not on a cut so i can eat/drink whatever.
Whey Protien with Oats in milk.

current post-workout meal is as follows:
immeadiately after - 2 scoops 100% whey w/ 2 scoops unflavored waxy maize starch & 5g creatine monohydrate
1 hr later - 1.5 cups Lana's liquid egg whites, 1 cup raw rolled oats (2 cups when cooked), 10 almonds, & a medium banana.
My favorite meal huh? Well as soon as im done lifting I take down 40g's of hydrolized protein and my bcaa's and 5g's of glutamine. about a half hour later - 45 minutes later after my system is all cooled down i get really hungry. My favorite I'd have to say is going to the pub and getting a burger with 2 8oz patty's, bacon, melted cheese, mushrooms and onions. With a side of vegtables and a pitcher of water.
good ole' 12 oz steak and sweet potato with a shitload of green beans

If I lift late as I usually do I don't get out of the gym until 8, so I won't have carbs becuase at this point I'm not trying to get any heavier, but otherwise either a baked potatoe or some rice. Throw in some BBQ and I am one happy man.

Should I go with a shake or a whole food meal? Does it make a difference in the long run? Usually after a workout, I am craving whole food--I can get voraciously hungry...a shake can sustain me for a 1 and half to 2 hours before I have to eat again--but I am by no means "full"--hell maybe even a notch below "content."
Carry the shake with you to the gym and drink it immediately after your workout. Then when you get home eat a whole food meal. That is normally what I do. Keep a choppin.

Have a shake immediately post workout. Then about an hour later a whole food meal.
also with a good protein shake watch what whole foods you are putting in your body if im not mistaken which i could be your body can only absorb between 40-60 grams of protein everything 2 or so hours everything else is pissed out... I stick with fruits or a sandwhich maybe even some rice thats pretty quick...

whenever i have whole food directly after training. I get this weird sickness the rest of the evening where i am starving and cant stop eating and now matter what I eat i wont get full. When i have a shake immediately and then a meal in 45 minutes - an hour i dont have that.

Mate you have just answered your own question and put the solution in place at the same time.
Shake immediately after then a whole meal 1 1/2 hrs later.

having a shake after a workout is great. they digest quickly. but waiting 1 and a half hours after the shake is fucking retarded. food takes awhile to digest so get it in quicker. drink your shake, and then eat 30 minutes afterwards. 45 min max
lol, retarded? Everyone has their way for what works, I couldn`t have a meal 30 mins after a shake especially after training legs but an hour later I`m ok, I`ve tried all ways and the way that suits me is 1 hr after, some people might have to wait 90 mins and some can eat within 30 mins.

Torrent immediately post....then 45mins to an hour later a whole food meal, i usually have a 350g steak/chicken breast with some form of fibrous carbs like broccolli, then a tablespoon of flaxoil to wash it down.....and then a litre of water to get the taste outta my mouth..haha...

Over the summer when I trained in the evennings when I got home from the gym, about 30 min after PWO Shake, I would mix a can of tuna, half cup cottage cheese, 1 cup brown rice, and then I would add Salsa to my satisfaction. It looks like hell, but I love it!!!

It's not exactly a "meal", but my post workout recovery drink is always 2 glasses of wine
to replace my glocogen stores...

After my pwo shake or Torrent:Chilli, with corn, over rice, and topped with cheese. Quick, easy, lots of carbs, calories, and protein.

never heard of that before...
after torrent, i have 2 burritos
Favourite Postworkout meal of all time is 1lb london broil with 2 large potatoes cut into steak fries and baked in the oven. Season with a little salt and pepper and generous amounts of A1 and I'm a happy camper. Leg day deserves 24oz or beef and 3 meduim potatoes eaten 1 and a half hours after Torrent. I down another whey shake after the torrent before whole foods.

usually 5g creatine, 5g glutamine in WMS. Then I go home and eat 2-3 chicken breasts, rice, bread and drink half a liter of milk.

I alway like a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch with a scoop of chocolate whey then just enough skim to wet the whey. It becomes a sticky cinnamon chocolate mess. Almost like a makeshift rice crispy treat.

Assuming I already WPI immediately post workout, my favorite post-workout meal is:
The Moh Bowl
3 whole eggs beat with low fat milk
1 can of tuna
Thrown into the fryer with white rice and skim mozarella cheese
Usually down with a cup of milk.
Some may consider the taste nauseating but I grew up on hash so throwing raw material together has never been a problem for me.
quick question, as a generality, what is ideal for post-workout? not necessarily food- wise, but as far as nutrition goes? (i.e. carbs, sugars, etc.)

i wish i could afford a lot of expensive supplements, but for people or kids with income that is purely supplemental (pun intended) it's hard to cover all the bases.

after shake, steak and potatos
i wish i could afford a lot of expensive supplements, but for people or kids with income that is purely supplemental (pun intended) it's hard to cover all the bases.
If you can't afford Torrent, try 50g dextrose, 5g creatine, 5g glutamine, 40g Whey isolates. That's what we have been using forever, until Torrent desceneded from Supplement Heaven (Universal Nutrition production line). As the saying goes, supplements are the icin' on the cake. If you can't afford creatine or glutamine, then just go whey with dextrose.

It's 2 dollars per serving...not many foods cheaper than that unless you want a bottle of gatorade and 1 can of tuna.

Taking all of that stuff seperately would cost more than Torrent alone does.
My usual PWO meal is a shake of creatine, whey and complex carbs.
My favorite PWO meal is sushi, no doubt.

My favorite post workout meal has got to be either stir-"fry" asian chicken or baked tortilla chips with mexican style beef and low fat cheese with lettuce. Both have over 45 grams of protein and 55 grams of carbs with relatively low (10 grams) in fat.
After my pwo shake (torrent), I drive home and eat one of my favorite meal. Usually, its whole wheat pastas mixed with oignions and a little bit of olive oil plus some spices. On the top of that, I add any type of lean steak (top-surloin, lean ground beef, filet mignon, etc.). I love STEAK ! I also get sure to get some veggies with that meal. It's an high caloric meal and it helps me recover from training. PWO meal and breakfast are the 2 most important meals in your day !!

this isnt a question specifically regarding PW nutrition, but as i am new to the forum i was wondering where to post the following question...
we all talk about good carbs vs. bad carbs, fats, etc. but where do sugars fit into a bb's diet?
should we slosesly monitor our intake or sugar? i know sugar turns to fat, etc... but I'm not sure what the whole truth is. if anyone can answer, as well as school me in where to put questions such as these in the future, i would be very pleased.

my favorite has got to be taking a pound of 93/7 turkey meat and splitting it in half. mixing in some fresh chopped parsley and forming two big patties. put 'em on some whole wheat bulkie rolls. throw in some white rice, perhaps, and youve got a nice PW meal.

Simple sugars like maltodextrin and dextrose should have a part in a bulking bodybuilder's schedule.... Best time for simple sugars is immideately PWO....~ 40-80g depending on weight and how much is actually lean mass....
If anything is wrong, please feel free to correct me.... I don't want to give out wrong information...

so simple sugars and sugars from soft drinks are as different as i thought they were?
