Muscle Building Questions - Protein Intake
Before or After Workouts
Question:
I have been bodybuilding for 2 weeks now. Should I eat protein
before or after my workout?
Answer:
You should actually consume some protein before and after your
workouts. Its great to have some complex carbs and some protein (20-25 grams)
before you workout. A great pre-workout meal is:
1 cup of oatmeal
(old fashioned)
1 scoop of whey protein powder
After your workout
is a critical time to consume a high level of protein along with a fast acting
simple sugar to replenish your glycogen levels. Shoot for at least 40 grams of
protein and about 40-50 grams of carbs. A great post-workout meal would consist
of a meal replacement powder such as Met-RX or MyoPlex. Mix it in a blender with
some non-fat milk and ice and enjoy!
