whey
strawberries
crreatine



Wait ~45 minutes then

12 eggwhites, 1.5 cups oats, 1tsp. flax oil. about 1.5 - 2 hrs. before I lift.

i usually just have a shake with 30 g of protein
and maybe some yogurt

a big bowl of oats, some PB, and a whey shake

1/2 cup oats
1 cup juice with 20G brewer's yeast
1 scoop whey in water
multivitamin/mineral
green tea


I ran out of juice and won't be going to the store until later, so today I'm having:

1 cup oats
1 scoop whey in 2% milk

eat breakfast, then i wait about 30-45 mins, and take a NO-Xplode, and one other thing i just started...

im trying this stuff out, normall i just eat a meal right before consisting of whole foods... i feel better with something solid in my stomach

800 cals...I get 40g protein for this meal..a little carb heavy on this meal

150 grams of rice
250 grams of chicken breast
5 slices of pineapple

8 egg whites, 3/4 cup oatmeal with cinnamon and sugar twin.

I eat a cup of oats with 1 scoop whey 45-60 mins prior, then 10g bcaas in water 5-10 mins prior.

Full size bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats :P and hour and a half before approx time.

Then... 30-45 minutes prior

30grams milk protein
200mg caffiene
25 mg ephedra
10 g Yohimbe

I usually take 20-40 grams of Whey and eat an apple shortly before lifting

what do you guys say about complex carbs later at night. say 5-7pm, I hit the sheets around 9-10pm.. should i shy away from nuts and oats at night, or are they ok?

Well - Complex carbs in regards to what? After/before training or just in general?

Also nuts are not a complex carb... And 5-7pm is not really late at night!


But, generally speaking, as long as you are eating the correct calories/macronutrients for your goals then you can eat your carbs (and nuts - which are a fat) when ever you want.
