pre and post workout nutrition

CK · 03-14-2008, 01:26 PM

I was wondering what everyone eats before and after a workout? Also what is the benefit of taking dextrose after, and does anyone?

I have been eating fruit and starches before and whey protein and a grapefruit after.

Exactly.......helps me out a LOT! I can't say enough about it myself.....helps curb hunger in me too.....

I prefer Xtend - Orange, Watermelon & Lemonade flavors of BCAAs.....can't say enough good things about it & I highly recommend it.....

20g protein 30min before lifting, 40g protein right after.
If I'm doing cardio, nothing before, and a protein shake that includes fresh fruit afterwards.

Anafit Ezine vol 4 Pre and Post workout nutrition

Quote:

Bulking you will want 2-3 grams of carbohydrates per gram of protein

This was for pre-workout. I usually chug betwee 40-50 g of whey protein before I lift. I am guessing most get about this amout. Do you guys eat 100+ grams of carbs pre-workout?
