Reply With QuoteBefore resistance training, I try to wait anywhere from 20-60 minutes after eating before lifting. Before cardio, I try to wait more like 45-60 minutes to avoid cramps. I try to get a little protein, fat, and carbs before my workout.
After my workout I immediately slam down two protein shakes (One scoop a piece) and a cup of oatmeal. Try to avoid fat in your immediate PWO meal because it will slow down digestion. Your body wants those carbs and protein immediately after training. A minimum of 30 minutes later I eat another meal after the PWO meal.

Pre/Post Practice Meal Advice?
Wondering what my best options are for pre/post practice meals.
I play lacrosse and my practice basically consists of this:
light stretch: 2 min
ladder sprints: 5 min
hard stretch: 10 min
pass drills (more sprints with these): 15-20 min
shoot drills (more sprints): 10-15 min
ladder sprints: 5 min
This is around an hour practice, but sometimes goes over depending on coaches attitude. The sprints are not easy by any means, and are what is really killing me. I guess I should mention that im not the best runner also. There are no breaks longer than 1-2 min. Wondering what my best options for a pre/post meal are. B/C if i dont eat im really hurting, if i eat too much im hurtin a ton. Thanks for any advice.Feed Me House Music

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

you want to eat a solid whole food meal with a quality protein such as chicken or fish (easily digestable) and some low GI complex carbs. you want to eat at least 1-1.5 hours before the practice this will allow sufficient time for the stomach to empty is contents into the lower GI tract...
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
