Re: Post-workout nutrition

[Guest guest]

I think it's best to stick with the book and wait atleast an hour. Who

feels like eating right after a hard workout anyway??

Me I get up at 4:45; make it into the garage about 5 to work out.

By the time I finish at 5:45 to 6 AM, I am starved.

While the BFL says to wait, there are plenty of studies that will tell

you you burn more calories the first hour after a workout than at any

other time.

So... I say go with what works for your schedule and your body (but

I'm an uneducated amateur so what do I know?

If the goal is maximum fat loss, follow the book and wait an hour. If you're

goal is muscle gain, muscle gain with fat loss, or maintenance, get the

post-workout protein in as soon as possible.

There are also those of us who eat before and after weight sessions (feed

muscle), and do cardio on an empty stomach and wait an hour (starve fat).

Thanks for the input. I am definitely in the " maximum fat loss "

category -- with plenty to lose, so I'll keep to waiting an hour

afterwards. So far, so good. I'm on Week 1 and have dropped 6 lbs.

this week. I know it's mostly water, but it still feels good. And I

feel so much better getting my body active again!
