Thread: Post resistance training meals during cutting

I'm curious to know what you guys find works best as a post resistance training meal during cutting.

From what I have read so far:

1. a small snack after the resistance training (around 10g protein) helps muscle dev by as much as 300%

2. a delayed full meal is best after the workout but no longer than 30 mins after

3. the post-workout meal must contain carbs

4. the post workout meal (if in the morning) should be carb+lean protein, but minimal fat (BFFM phase3 diet). I can't find the link but I remember reading somewhere that the fat is to be removed from the post resistance workout meal for maximum fat loss.

On some of the links here however, I have also come across a recommended post-resistance workout shake of whey, banana or strawberry, heavy cream or some efa. Fat seemed to be essential.

For maximum fat loss, what do you guys find as the ideal post-resistance snack/meal (and its macronutrient breakdown) and the timing?

Thanks

I think the PWO meal can be your biggest of the day. It's when nutrient uptake and insulin sensitivity is best.

Partial to a liquid meal preferably, since it's faster. Or just whey and some high GI solid carbs is an option.

I believe so, yes.

I see no reason to include fat in a PWO meal.

Protein is a constant and carb intake in the PWO meal will, or at least should be, dependent on training volume.
