Macro's Post Workout

[krysryan]

I workout in the evening and had a question regarding macro's following my post workout shake. My meals leading up to and directly following my workout look like this:

5:00 p.m. - 1-1/2 cup oatmeal (55g), 2 scoops whey (46g)
6:00 - 7:30 - workout
7:45 - dextrose/maltodextrin (90g), 2 scoops whey (46g)
8:30 - meal
10:00 - 2 scoops whey (46g), hand full of almonds (10g)
10:30 - Bed

I was wondering what my macro's should be for the 8:30 meal. Should it be a pro/carb or a pro/fat meal?

[usualsuspect]

I see nothing but shakes. What happened to all the real food? Veggies? Lean meats? only 4 meals all together....where are the rest?

[krysryan]

The shakes are just leading up to and following the workout. I didn't list the rest of the day because my question was more or less focused towards the meal directly following my post workout shake.

[usualsuspect]

Definately a protein/carb meal in the 2 hour post-workout window.

You can eat a pro/carb for you PPWO meal and then go to bed nothing hurt.

i was thinking the same thing! changed user names...

[krysryan]

Do you guys think the insulin spike from the pro/carb meal will be to close to the pro/fat meal right before bed?

[Giantz11]

Simple answer, workout later and have your PPWO as your last meal of the day. This should not be hard considering it seems you have nothing to do after 6pm.

[krysryan]

Thanks for the help. Giantz11, if I make it my last meal, should I do a pro/fat then?

[SwoleCat]

Yes, you're going to store it all as fat........

Ok I'm not trying to be a dickhead here at all, but how to do interperet make your PPWO meal the last of the day (always a solid Pro/carb meal) into "Should I do Pro/fat"?

[SwoleCat]

The amazing things people can do when they are asking for what they want to hear.

Sorry, I was a little late to the picnic. Seems like someone is short a few sandwiches

[chest6]

sorry to hijack but...I understand having a pro/carb for ppwo is not harmful in any way right before bed. You guys saying he should not have a pro/fat meal right before bed..is this because he is having it too soon? I guess my question is when does the insulin spike drop back down to normal so having a pro/fat meal would not be detrimental in any way? Im thinking about working out earlier in the day..this is why. I figured if i kept the pro/fat 2 hours+ after my ppwo I would be fine..any thoughts?

[Giantz11]

Blood Sugar from your PPWO meal should return to normal in about 2 to 2.5 hours.

Steve0, I'll say this again you cannot eat carbs after 5:37:43pm, that's right I even provided you with seconds after the minutes. Come on bro, you knew this.

~SC~

well i found to sustain greater fat burning i eat a fat/carb meal DURING cardio then nothing but 15 whey shakes throughout the rest of the day!

[steve0]

well i found for best results to eat ricecrispy treats, before and after my workout sessions also i find that reeses cups workwell for me too
