Hey guys,
I was wondering what some of you guys do for a post workout meal or shake? I have been following Damn's approach for quite a while with some carrots, goat whey, collagen, frozen berries, coconut milk, sometimes throwing some ashwagandha or bacopa in. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Hope all is well.
I usually eat a protein heavy meat centric meal within a half hour of working out. I also skip breakfast, so this is my first meal of the day on weightlifting days. A protein smoothie usually follows that shortly thereafter, consisting of some frozen banana slices, egg white protein powder (about 50g worth), 3 stalks of celery, handful of spinach leaves, 20g of sorghum flour, honey, and a liberal heap of ground cinnamon...and of course water. I usually wait a couple of hours after all that to then eat another protein rich meat centric meal and begin carb backloading with sweet potatoes or russet potatoes (usually between 3-5 lbs on weightlifting days). Spinach leaves and fruit are eaten sporadically throughout the day so I make sure to get enough fiber.
The non-weiggtlifting days look very different. I still aim for 1 lb of protein per lb of body weight throughout the day, but some of it comes from eggs (4-6) on those days, I tend to do more veggies, and of course I keep carb intake to something low like about 30g or less for the whole day on non-weightlifting days.
Chocolate peanut butter always seems to be a favorite.Quote:

I've recently found shirataki noodles which are very low calorie. I'll saute half an onion, some mushrooms, and some shredded carrot in a pan with some sesame oil and garlic, I'll add some broccoli florets, a little diced chicken, spring onions, coconut aminos, and ill add a scrambled egg towards the end.
For me a favorite is Sometimes for meal prep I’ll make a crap load of chicken breasts in different seasonings along with veggies. After I lift in PM, I Cut the chicken up and mix it in a bowl with a crap ton of Rice. Add the veggies like onions, peppers, etc in and add salsa like pico or verde . Its like the Chipotle burrito bowls. Hits the spot always.Quote:
