I need something to eat to give me energy... trying to drop a few pounds but lately not really having too much energy?
bump......
i try to take in some protein before : About 6-7 egg whites and also throw in sme carbs: full bag of brown rice which is about 66g carbs.
I go for protein/carbs as well. Meal sizes depends on how muc htime I have before I lift. Johan posted a thread with studies showing that consuming some amino acids with some glucose increases protein sythesis by something crazy like 400%. Try a search and check out the articles, interesting read.
Studies show 1gram of protein should be taken for every 3-4grams of carbohydrates Pre+Post workout.. This seems to work well for me.
FOODS guys... something i can eat before i hit the gym... you guys are saying i need to balance some protein and crabs before i hit the gym... like what?
bumpbidy bump....
Try a Cliff Bar. I used to eat them about an hour before doing exercises that were long in duration. Plus, they taste pretty good, too.
Chicken and Brown Rice
Steak and Yams
Turkey and Whole wheat pasta
Egg whites and oats
egg whties and grits
I mean come on.. think about a good protein source and then put it together with a good carb source.. pretty simple.
sounds good
what are grits i no they are all carb meal like oats, I can't seem to find them... are they "orginal Hot cereal" by red-river? thats all i found here.
everything you ever wanted to know about grits but I dont endorse any of their recipes ;-)
Fez,
I don't believe they sell grits in Canada at any of the major grocery outlets. I've looked everywhere it seems. I'm in the West, though, so I wouldn't be able to tell you about Loblaws, Dominion, or A&P as we don't have any chains over here.
EGGWHITES and CreamOfWheat w/ BLUE BERRIES oh YEAH!
sweet potatos & chicken
rice & fish

4 whole eggs,half cup brown rice,50 mins before,green tea no sugar 20min before
a shake with milk and some fruit is what I always consume like 30 minutes pre workout. Acctualy the biggest carb serving of the day in my diet is in that one meal.
my biggest carb meal is pre and post. i figure might as well go crazy when my body will be :DQuote:
