Post workout shake

[MuscleInk]

Only if I'm hungry. If I train late in the evening, I don't really eat anything. Just go to bed. If It's early morning, I tend to get hungry after.

Damn.....I'd eat my hand in my sleep. I've got a big hunk of sea bass waiting for me after my work out now.

Interesting that you should say that. What I am about to say is purely on my own anecdotal observations. I have always trained in the morning and I used to take most my carb intake for the day pre and post workout in the morning and early afternoon. However, I switched this up and now eat entirely protein pre and post workout and take 90% of my carbs late at night time and seems to work really well for me. I feel full of energy when I wake up and rather than making me fat weirdly enough it actually makes me lean out a bit more.

I don't do as many shakes any more as I used to. I eat a good portion of food before a work out (last night was steak, chicken breast, and grilled asparagus) and then try to get another decent meal post work out (last night was three sea bass steaks). Sometimes when heading home from the gym before I eat, I'll throw back a Quest Protein bar with the rest of my BCAAs.

The odd time I make a shake, I toss the following in my Blendtec and it pulverizes everything:

- rolled oats
- geek yogurt (or peanut butter)
- protein powder
- egg whites
- baby spinach
- almond milk
- olive oil
