MKader17 332 Posted February 2, 2008 I was wondering if there is anything I should eat/drink shortly after my workouts (particularly days I'm in the gym lifting). Most of the time my workouts end at 9:00 PM so something light and around 100 calories would be preferred. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnecon2001 82 Posted February 2, 2008 Hmm, I was with you until you said 9pm and light.My workout ends at 6, and I usually get something high in protein. Or I grill a steak and have a leafy salad. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chevy350TPI 12 Posted February 2, 2008 You will want to aim to replenish carbohydrates. More on this later ... I'm teaching a course until 8PM this evening.I will substitute a weight gainer/meal replacement shake post-workout if I do not have the time for solid food. Careful on the excess protein intake as it could be converted and stored as fat. You are definitely a special case regarding this 9PM post-workout nutrition, wanting to lose weight, and packing everything in so close to bed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nology 0 Posted February 2, 2008 I usually drink a 2 scoop shake with skim milk right when I get out of the gym. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Clinton 2,372 Posted February 4, 2008 Steve mentioned it, a protien shake is good, but that late maybe not a regular helping. Some night snacks like a banana and turkey jerky are good. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKader17 332 Posted February 4, 2008 What about just a glass of 2% milk with a banana 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobc04 1 Posted February 4, 2008 Go with A protein shake. Idk if u heard of it but XS Protein shake. I drink that and its pretty awesome for after workouts 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chevy350TPI 12 Posted February 4, 2008 Go with A protein shake.Why? His diet likely ready includes more protein than his body is able to use. He should be focussing on repleting his glycogen stores by ingesting carbohydrates (both high and low GI).Milk and a banana would be fine. Chocolate milk is great post workout. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABXX49 20 Posted March 25, 2008 I would go with a Casein (sp?) protein shake at that time. A slow release protein at night. Fruit is always good too! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chad.SQ 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Eating after 9 is bad if you are looking for weight loss. If you can workout earlier than its ok. But any type of nutritious food. Me personally I take a meal replacement drink which is around 150 calories and vitamins right after my workouts. No Micky D's. No matter how bad the craving is 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
