What nutrition after workout?
A. It is good to get some carbs in after a workout to replenish your glycogen stores. I used to only have a protein shake, but I have recently been mixing in a package of Carnation Instant Breakfast. It has about 30g of carbs in it (1/2 simple, 1/2 complex). I’m not sure if it is the best thing to do, but I have a shake like that and then about 2 hours later, I’ll have my dinner, which mostly consists of protein and some carbs. Try to incorporate some fat into your diet too. I used to be strictly protein, but after a few posts here, a bunch of guys told me to up my fat intake to increase testosterone levels. Sounded good, so I did it. Just throw in a couple handfuls of nuts or something during the day or a salad with regular dressing (not fat-free). Hope this helps and if anyone has anything to add or correct me on, please feel free to. I know that I am not the most knowledgeable about this kind of stuff, but I am relaying things that I have been told in this newsgroup.
