4eggs and 2yoghurt? does it work ?

If you only want the protein value, 4 eggs with 6g protein each can replace whey in terms of protein value.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm prepared this for lunch cause i was too bored. Carbs after a very long time

For breakfast, not so bad i guess. That is what i have
For brunch, try adding on something light? Fruits perhaps? An apple!
For Lunch , where are the vegetables? Missing in action? Ribena = Sugar. Avoid drinking cold drinks too. Chicken make sure it isnt oily!
For dinner, i dont know about you. I'm currently in the process of losing weight. My dinner would be no rice at all, oats prob less oats and more vegetables. A light dinner will do
For supper, avoid supper. Dont take supper, not not good. After workout i feel that i dont have much energy too until i started drinking lots of water during workout. Hmmm
All the best!

oh...okey...how many hours do we need to eat before workout ? i mean, if i take lunch at 1.30 p.m ...can i do my workout at 5.00 p.m ?

it depends on the food you are eating.
but whatever you're eating, working out at 5pm is kinda late after you have eaten at 1.30pm.

okay...so i will need to start my workout at around 4.00 p.m huh ? well...good idea i think so ...gonna try it soon...

i workout at 5

i eat my lunch at 1.30pm too...

Your meal is enough or not is depending totally on your daily calorie requirement and daily macro nutrition requirement. If you need 140g of protein per day, you need to consume 140g per day. You need to count calorie because without doing so, you wouldn't know whether what you ate is enough or not.

Added on June 29, 2012, 11:47 pm2-3 hours after you consume your meal should be ok for you to exercise. What you need to make sure is that your stomach isn't full or you might vomit all the food in your stomach and it is not a very good scene in the gym

Added on June 29, 2012, 11:49 pmThere is no late or early time to workout. If you feel like working out at 4 am, do it. As long as you feel that you want to workout, not being force to workout. Actually, late evening is a good time to workout as test hormon are at its highest at that time; which is a very good thing. I've seen a video about it, maybe I'll upload it here.

that's your personal preference, i have nothing against it.


+1
but i think it depends on individual, some people experience their best training performance in an immediately fed state, while others do best in a semi-fasted or fasted state.


i think you've misunderstood, the "late" is not referring to the time to have a workout, it's referring to the time to workout after you've eaten.

For best results from personal experience, eat some carbs + protein around 1 hr before you hit the gym.

I've had some crazy workouts after popping off a proteinplus powerbar as pre-workout.

I also found, in a pinch, a plus-size snickers/mars bar is a very tasty and energizing preworkout

I like Boost by Cadbury (I think). Had that with a Redbull as a preworkout two times before and both workouts I hit PRs on various exercises.

Definitely not for someone on a calorie restricted diet though

I'd go with a boost too. Although, taking that would result me in running like some hyperactive kid instead.

LOL I had a Boost bar and 2 Redbulls before a leg workout once. I was fidgeting away and got really jittery after about 20 minutes or so. Super sugar rush! Felt so hyper.
