OT Swole Patrole: post workout eats
Posted on 2/19/15 at 11:16 am
Posted on 2/19/15 at 11:16 am
I'm using lent as a way to get back in shape. I've ballooned up to about 223. School and work have just gotten in the way and my diet has been garbage since Christmas break.
My diet will consist mainly of chicken, eggs, veggies, and salads with protein shakes for breakfast or post workout. Hoping to hit 200 by Easter with 5 days a week of lifting and cardio.
My buddy was mocking me for not eating enough quick carbs post workout. He said no matter what I do, if my post workout meal doesn't include enough quick carbs, I won't see results.
What say you, beefcakes of the OT? Any advice or recommendations ?

Figure out your TDEE at eat -500KCal or -1000Kcal (if you're going to be aggressive, but I don't recommend) deficit per day, get a lot of protein and a decent amount of fat.
The thing your friend said about carbs is retarded.

protein shake or if you dont eat before, have some chicken and eggs

This is my greatest downfall. I have terrible post-workout eating habits. I don't have the funds for buying the big tubs of protein but I do go for the milk.

Raw Bull hearts. Preferably still beating.

It's true that insulin carries amino acids/protein to the muscles and taking in quick-burning carbs post workout can marginally increase gains by spiking insulin, it's not a necessary step. You'll get plenty of results from a simple whey isolate shake after a workout.

1/2 cup of stone ground oats (oatmeal), fresh grapes, blueberries, strawberries, 1.5 table spoons of almond butter and a table spoon of local honey.

Your buddy is full of shite. Complex carbohydrates are a much better option and will allow you to maintain much more stable blood sugar levels post workout.
Glycogen replenishment is only essential for elite-level athletes who will be engaging in rigorous activity within a period of less than 24 hours.
For the general population, glycogen is naturally
replenished with an adequate consumption of carbohydrates during a 24-36 hour window.
Post-workout meals are only essentially if your pre-workout meal is insufficient. A fasted workout might call for some more high glycemic carbohydrates, but this is generally not the case.
Personally, I like to mix a cup of oats in my protein shake and then consume a full meal a few hours later.

Im not sure what he's getting about "quick" carbs, but perhaps he's talking about simple carbs. Your muscles do want carbs after an intense lifting session but it's crazy to think "you wont see results" if you dont start downing carbs as you walk out the gym.
Great postworkout meal that may be a little different and can be made in a big batch -
Quinoa cooked in stock
Salmon (either in sealed pack or grill a filet and shred apart)
Black Beans
Garlic
Cilantro
Lime Zest and Juice
Corn
It can be eaten cold or hot and is still really good. I saw this on bodybuilding.com the other and it's basically exactly like a quinoa recipe I typically make with the protein thrown in. I would imagine ground deer or beef would be good instead of salmon as well. Smoke sausage diced would prlly be good too.
-A good old fashioned cheeseburger isnt all that bad as far as post workout meal (homemade). If your watching carbs then just eat burger patties with cheese grill some vegetables (or steam packs).
-Plain Greek yogurt with pistachios, bananas and tbsp of honey
-steak and potatoes
-chili and cornbread
-scrambled eggs and hash with ground meat

Sure, youre getting carbs, but it's about 80 grams of sugar. Dont do this.
