Muscle Building Questions - Pre Workout
& Post Workout Meals
Question:
I have a diet based inquiry after my morning weight training,
I eat my breakfast within 30 mins to an hour. I usually eat 4 egg whites scrambled,
1 bowl of fruit, I slice of brown bread, 4 tbl sp of sprouts and If I can a few
sausages or a little chicken. My other meal are light throughout the day. Is this
breakfast of mine fine, I've been working out for about 1.5 years now. Should
I add more egg whites to it or something. Are there any addictions or reductions
that I should make? Since its my main meal, I want it to be a mass gainer for
me, just this one meal.
Answer:
Make sure to eat before your workout also! You should eat some
starchy carbs with protein. A perfect pre-workout meal is a bowl of oatmeal with
a scoop of protein powder. Mix them up with some water and microwave for about
30-40 seconds.
For a post workout meal, your best option is to eat a
liquid meal. Try an MRP (meal replacement powder) like metrx or myoplex. These
are great because they get quality protein and carbs in your body quickly to re-fill
your glycogen levels and supply the fuel for your muscles. When you eat a solid
food meal, your body has to digest it and this is not the optimal route when you
need the nutrients quick.
If you really need to stick with a solid food
meal post workout, your current plan looks fine. I would recommend removing the
sausage since its very high in fat. Make sure to get at least 35 grams of protein
for the meal.
