I'm traveling for work right now, so I ate sausage and eggs at the hotel for breakfast, 5 guys bacon burger for lunch, a protein powder/raspberry/black berry smoothie for a lunch and I'm nearly at my calorie goal for the day. 100g of carbs, 187g fat and 231 protein.
I have a 15oz NY steak in the hotel fridge (the hotel has a bbq) that I haven't decided if I'm going to eat or not tonight. It would put me way over on calories, but it's a really good cut. And I have asparagus to bbq with it. |

Damn son. I admire the dedication it takes to eat like that. Do you maintain that 24/7/365? I like food and variety way too much to do that. And donuts. Gotta carb load.

I eat pretty much the same thing every day for week. The next week I'll change the meat and carb and of method of cooking for the next week. I cook for the entire week on Sunday so its just easier to keep it the same. I've been at it for over six months now. I currently hate food, but love the results.

Enjoying food is worth more to me than whatever you are doing You're not wrong about the first part. But I hate all food now. Steak, fish, doesn't matter...I hate eating. I prefer ground meat so I can get it wet with something like cream of mushroom soup and shove it down as quickly as possible. Any meat I eat goes in the food processor. Second part. So worth it. I look and feel fucking awesome.

Thats why OP uses Froot Loops for after working out I read a study recently (OK, TLDR, I read the abstract) that compared two groups of trainsers: one that consumed simple carbs post workout and a control group that did not. The study showed that that those who consumed the carbs post-workout did replace glycogen stores faster, BUT that after 24 hours of normal eating, the glycogen stores of both groups were equally restored. The study concluded that post workout carbs to replace glycogen work, but aren't very necessary except for athletes who train more than once per day. I would probably also add in people who work physical jobs after training (firefighter, cops, etc). |

What I haven't seen and wonder though is if there are benefits for strength training from post-workout feeding. Is there some post-workout increase in protein breakdown and resynthesis compared to normal feeding. I think most of the research in this area has focused on endurance training and the info on strength training is in the realm of broscience. |

The nutritionist I took a seminar with, who is a lifter as well, told us to fast post-workout on heavy squat/dead days. I guess he knows his shit because he just DLed near 600 pounds in a competition I'm in with him. No breakfast or lunch. Then destroy dinner. I've never really tried that though. I crave protein after every workout. |

Repeated insulin spikes will not let your body burn fat from what I understand and will signal it to store it. Repeated to me is a shitty diet full of pop, white stuff, candy, sugar,etc. Most people don't lift every day, I lift 4 days so I wouldn't consider it repeated in my case. Its also been shown you don't NEED to hit that 30 minute window and you have 24 hours to replace the glycogen. I still personally follow broscience and hit that window because if I don't I am not only sore, but drag ass the next couple days. |

"Thanks for explaining. But, it does leave me a bit confused. Aren't repeated, sugar-induced, insulin spikes supposed to be bad for health?" repeated? YES. that's why 2/3 of this country is fat. Repeated insulin spikes will not let your body burn fat from what I understand and will signal it to store it. Repeated to me is a shitty diet full of pop, white stuff, candy, sugar,etc. Most people don't lift every day, I lift 4 days so I wouldn't consider it repeated in my case. <chuckle> The human capacity for self-delusion never fails to amaze and amuse me. repeated: said, done, or happening again and again I hate to break it to you, but if you're doing it four times per week, week after week, month after month, year after year, it's repeated. Would you share the data you're using to define what constitutes an insulin spike and the frequency at which that becomes harmful? |

I've posted the same multiple times. What I haven't seen and wonder though is if there are benefits for strength training from post-workout feeding. Is there some post-workout increase in protein breakdown and resynthesis compared to normal feeding. I think most of the research in this area has focused on endurance training and the info on strength training is in the realm of broscience. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I read a study recently (OK, TLDR, I read the abstract) that compared two groups of trainsers: one that consumed simple carbs post workout and a control group that did not. The study showed that that those who consumed the carbs post-workout did replace glycogen stores faster, BUT that after 24 hours of normal eating, the glycogen stores of both groups were equally restored. The study concluded that post workout carbs to replace glycogen work, but aren't very necessary except for athletes who train more than once per day. I would probably also add in people who work physical jobs after training (firefighter, cops, etc). I've posted the same multiple times.

I think most of the research in this area has focused on endurance training and the info on strength training is in the realm of broscience. The purpose of post workout nutrition is to stop the breakdown of muscle and kick start the rebuilding by flooding the blood stream with amino acids and glycogen. People seem to think you only build muscle when you sleep but protein synthesis is happening 24 hours a day. *I'm not a nutritionist and frankly not all that smart. |

The nutritionist I took a seminar with, who is a lifter as well, told us to fast post-workout on heavy squat/dead days. I guess he knows his shit because he just DLed near 600 pounds in a competition I'm in with him. No breakfast or lunch. Then destroy dinner. I've never really tried that though. I crave protein after every workout. Quote HistoryQuoted:
