To fitness people-what do you eat after your workout and how long after?
I just had my protein shake and I'm thinking what to have in like an hour.. (but not sure) how long after drinking your protein shake you are supposed to eat a meal around 200 calories?? I'm thinking about havin' 1 egg, spinach and canned tuna in brine but don't feel like eating tuna. what do you usually eat? anything without meat( as i'm a student and i ate my last piece of turkey fillet last night):)! i need some ideas.

I usually get up around 5am to go for a 10k jog, I have two weight watchers biscuits just to get my metabolism going, then when I am back from the 10k I make a hot bowl of porridge. It doesnt sound very filling, but after a 10k jog it does the trick for mean and I am a big guy. Boosts my energy slowly throughout until I have a mid morning snack. So its quite a cheap option if thats what you are after too! P.S I usually sprinkle a table spoon of sweetne on top to give it a bit of taste!

Hi there Summer , i know that you are already aware that timing protein intake throughout the day is essential to maximizing muscle gains, reducing muscle breakdown, and keeping nitrogen levels positive. I will quickly summarize the logic behind the regimen before presenting the regimen itself. We need to consume whey protein no sooner than 5 minutes after the meal, and no later than 30 minutes afterwards. Here's a tip on when you are going to take proteins 00:00 Whole food meal 00:10 Whey protein shake (at least one 20-30 gram scoop) 03:00 Whole food meal 03:10 Whey protein shake

It depends on how hungry I am. If I am still hungry after my protein shake I will usually eat breakfast within 20 minutes after, but most of the time I will eat breakfast around 45 minutes after. I eat protein, complex carbs, and healthy fat. Usually I will have an omelet (2 whole eggs, 1 egg white) with fat free shredded cheese and 2 servings of oatmeal. Other times I will have scrambled egg whites, a veggie sausage patty, and 1 slice of whole wheat toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
