Help? Can I Have A Solid Meal Half An Hour After Slin Shot And Pwo Nutrition?

[BIG_T_MC06]

I am looking to take insulin PWO and will be consuming the correct amount of protein and carbs (50g WPI and 10g dextrose per IU slin). This will be my first time using insulin and was wondering if i can consume a solid meal at half an hour after my IM slin shot? I will be working up to 7-10IU in total.

Part of diet:

16:30 - 200g chicken + 200g baked potato + 25g Whey Pro Iso

17:00 - WORKOUT

18:00 - INSULIN SHOT + 50g Whey Pro Iso and 10g dextrose per IU slin

18:30 - 200g chicken + 100g brown rice (PRO:45g COMPLEX CARBS: 75g)

20:30 - CNP Pro Mass Shake

Before bed
22:30 - Steak + 3 whole eggs + 3 egg whites

Will the above nutrition plan be safe for me to follow using a quicker acting insulin - Humalog or Humilin?

Finally is it safe for me to go to sleep at 22:30 seen as i am injecting the slin at 18:00? The slin will not be active at 22:30 will it?

I would up your protein intake from 50g to about 75g if you are going to be using insulin. You have to remember that insulin allows your body to absorb more nutrients than usual, therefore I advise you to take advantage of that by consuming a little bit more protein than usual. The 10g of dex for every 1IU of insulin is fine though.

Consuming a whole meal half an hour after your shot is fine, but you are better of having your proper first meal about 1.25hrs after your protein shake. You don't want to have your meals too close together. You must let your body digest what you just had, otherwise you will end up having excess nutrients which can lead to fat storage. Having a shake post injection then having a meal half an hour later isn't a good idea because the time frame between the shake and your meal isn't long enough. As I mentioned, have your shake then about 1.25hrs later have a proper meal.

I wouldn't have whole eggs before bed, I would have egg whites, but not whole eggs. I would only consume proteins before bed time.

Make sure you don't fall asleep while insulin is active, it can be dangerous. Humalog is active for 4hrs, so that type of insulin would be your best option.

All the best mate.

Ok let me set it out for you:

17:00 - Workout
Immidietly after you finish training have your injection. I'm assuming this will be around 17:02.
17:03 - Have your dextrose, you can also have 5g of glutamine and creatine for additional benefits.
17:15 - 75g of protein isolate.
18:30 - Your first proper meal. 50g of carbs, and 50g of protein. Baked potatoes is good, and grilled chicken or tuna is good also.
19:45 - Have another meal like the one at 18:30
Assuming you are using Humalog, by the time you have your next meal insulin will no longer be active therefore you may eat as you usually do.

Yes that's fine, there is no problem with that at all.
