No sir I did not cheat .. and I just walked through gym door ... haven't had breakfast yet... I'm assuming I eat afterwards or did I make a mistake not eating first?? Today is leg day

Not eating first is good, IMHO. Afterwards the biggest meal of the day, remember?
 
I would suggest you buy a tub of Karbolyn, mix 1 scoop (50gr carbs) with whey for post workout and have a meal. Don't forget to count total calories -Karbolyn included.
 
Whoa ... I don't think I can find turds on the cal counter ... this may be a problem. I will total check out the above and grab me some ...
 
It has 2gr protein in 2 turds. That is 1gr protein x turd. You would need to consume 150 turds a day.
 
Please now I ask you too do your homework... please read article concerning appropriate diet intake for flavor ....

Looks good, but why so many machines. Why not do more free weight?
 
Honestly good question ...
I would rather do free weights
Today the bro squad was there... occupying the entire small area of free weights... usually this does t bother me but today was their leg day also .... go figure ;?(

Nah, not really, you'll need some "quick carbs", like a soda -energy drink and quinoa.
Back in the day when I was young, they mixed tuna with coca cola as a post workout, LOL.

Why would she “need” “quick” carbs? She didn’t deplete CHO stores and is wanting to lose weight?

Quinoa is fine post workout.

I’d take a hard look at what is being recommended and do your own research Stacey.
 
I use oatmeal post workout maybe 1 scoop (1/2 cup) of low fat frozen yogurt on top
 
So guys I wanna share something... and yes those are my skinny pajama jeans... it's my 98yr old paps. BawahahahaInvalid Link Removed
 
General Rule:

After workout = High glycemic carbs / During day = Low glycemic carbs

Oats = low glycemic = no insulin spike

Insulin is the most anabolic hormone of your body, you benefit from an insulin spike after workout.
 
We are not looking to store these carbs as glycogen right?? We are looking to use as a immediate source of fuel?? Or are we looking to store glycogen I. The muscle and liver... for later fuel... to much glycogen=stored fat ...
 
Here a link. Simple sugars are crucial post workout.

Who had thought that I'm taking the role of a nutritionist, LMAO.

I'm the one who is dieting in most peculiar ways for 2 years+ -and have only recently found a way to success.
Hahaha!
 
So I found muscle milk bars at the dollar tree yesterday is why I asked..
2 for a buck
Btw this is my dinner with one of those bars ...Invalid Link Removed
 
Here about insulin and post workout simple carbs:

Like I said, back when I was young, the guys were mixing tuna and coca cola in a shake as post-workout. All were huge dudes, knowing already about it.

Can you imagine, tuna + coke, LOL!

No idea this misconception is still spouted lol

muscle contractions facilitate glucose transport into muscle cells, essentially mimicking the work insulin does. In other words, lifting primes the pump for you, so you don’t need a sharp rise in insulin to get nutrition into the muscles.

Not to mention, she’s trying to LOSE weight. Peri workout nutrition is important but the biggest factor is calories out vs in.

Don't wanna write too much, read the links provided -or follow my orders (Muhahaha).

1. during day slow digesting carbs for slow released energy = no insulin spike
2. after workout sugary carbs (think honey, soda, donuts) for quick glycogen replenishing + insulin spike = shuttles protein and glucose into muscles for repair and growth
