Pre workout: Free form amino acids (same as a protein shake but without any bloated feeling...which leads to vomitting, gauranteed) and simple carbs, like fruit

Post workout: BCAA's, which bypass the liver and go straight to the muscles, then simple sugars with about 40g whey about 20 min after that


my little technique...
just not good enough

I usually eat a full meal about 1.5-2 hours before going to the gym. It usually consists of about 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of carbs, & 10-15 grams of fat. It's rather large because it's my first meal of the day.

While at the gym I'll drink a shake. It contains 30 grams of protein & 20 grams of carbs (I also throw in some Taurine, BCAA's, & Glutamine).

Once I get home I kinda "graze" for about an hour. I usually eat pretty clean & I try to make sure I eat at least 50 grams of protein. For example: Eggs, Pasta, Yogurt, Beef, Chicken, Salmon, Fruit, etc...

Pre-workout: energy bar about 1/2 hour before training.

Post-workout:  30 grams whey/30 grams maltodextrin/vitamin E&C, plus a banana.  Then I eat a meal about 45 minutes after that (usually, chicken or beef with rice and a salad).

Probably not the ideal way, but it is convenient for me.

...carbs/protein and how much?



Before the workout.....at least 35 grams of protein. It depends on the type of shake I'm using (As of late, it's been MET-Rx). Post-workout: 75 grams of carbs (from CELL-TECH), followed 30-45 minutes later by an RTD (Isopure, Mass Recovery, or NITRO-TECH).
