    Question post cardio nutrition

    what kind of recovery meal would be best to eat after intense cardio? i practice muay thai kick-boxing for 1.5 hours 3 time a week. i lift weights for an hour beforehand, guzzle a protein shake w/some high gi carbs, and rest for about 5 min before starting.
    i also try to do normal (read: less intense) at least 2 or 3 times in addition to this. would the recovery meal be different?

    after the intense cardio, carbs and protein. complex carbs are fine since you already had the high GI post weights.
    as for the other more moderate cardio sessions, defintly protein and complex carbs if you so choose.

    I thought you'd want a whey protein shake . . . and say . . . a banana. I've always heard you need to start repairing your muscles ASAP. You'd want a fast digesting protein, high GI carb. Everyone has a different view, though. I guess it depends on the intensity. I can lean toward a complex carb after a cardio session, though.

    I think it would be fine to do the muay thai after weight training. If I do cardio on the same day as weight training (not often, do it on off days), I do it after resistance training. You don't want to wear yourself out . . . drop some weight on your neck while doing some bench presses. I choose to do my cardio on off days, 99% of the time. I've heard another story saying to do cardio before weight training, because you won't burn lactic acid during your workout.

    It's not conducive to gaining mass. However, since you eat right after lifting and before the muay thai, you are probably okay.

    i'm not looking to gain mass for now. i may change my mind in the future. if i don't eat after lifting will i burn more fat during training (i will eat shake and carbs post cardio).
