poor guy must be dizzy by now

i didint know about whey until your post mentioned it and i googled for it, it seems to me it is sth hard to digest, probably it is one of the cause since u dont take junk foods so it could be a reason. why dont you get more proper help from someone in real-life, gym buddies/instructors? doctors?

It might be the night workout. Your body is still too active to sleep. By the way ... hard digestion for whey protein ? And people still take it post-workout ?

yeah i think it could be the night workout itself. but that's the best time for me for weekdays, haha.

i don't think whey protein is hard to digest.

what i'm guessing is probably the insomnia might have something to do with the fact that whey is really fast absorbing/digesting. maybe i gotta try looking for an alternative post-workout protein source for my night workouts, a slower digesting one like casein or something. but it's kinda expensive to get another casein supplement, since i only just got my whey supplement few days ago , haha.

hmm, another alternative would be 2 glasses of milk with a peanut butter sandwich for post-workout, right before bed. and then only i'll take the whey first thing in the morning the next day. for recovery purposes. what do you think?

Mix your whey with milk if you are taking whey near your bedtime... Just my suggestion.

I'm also having troule to sleep if I workout really hard like weight lifting and HIIT. It's because It's too hot to sleep. Maybe that is the reason. Try to swith your fan to max or on your air condition. Maybe it will cool you and you will be easier to sleep

im going to get an aircond this week coz my room at night is like an oven...open 2 fans also hot...

actually wat u all think about sweet potato??
recently i had a medium steam sweet potato for my small meal in the aftanoon...
but there are some website said tht....sweet potato is full with carb...
n some say it was health carb...

sweet potato is a comlex natural carb. Same category as brown rice / oatmeal. You still have to control your intake of carb so it won't turn to fat.

icic....normal i will eat it around 3pm..
as my small meals...
i think the carb is used up before i sleep ...
how about sweet corn???

sweet corn is the one people make with using planta right ? Then it's a NOT good choice of healthy carb. Contains a lot of fat (calories) and trans fat.

oh i mean i make it myself..
jus steam sweet corn...without putting planta..
jus some salt on top of it...

yes sweet corn is a low gi carb.

Try refer here. If anyone finds a low GI and easily available and prepared in Malaysia, please tell us the info.

Hi dark... i have a question. What is the best food to take after a cardio work out? I Started my workout plan last week. I swim twice a week and play badminton 3 times a week. I am trying to shed alot of weight. At the moment i havent started on weight training yet because i wanna lose some weight before i build muscle. Would really appreciate some pointers from a pro like yourself

Guys,

Wanna ask, besides HL milk mix with whey, what else can you mix? Otherwise I'll just use cold water that's all in gym. Maybe I can blend some almonds.

Is this too much? I like to have banana before working out.

Pre workout = 200ml milk + 1 scoop of whey, blend with a banana and almonds.

Post workout = 1 1/2 scoop of whey with cold water.

I think 5lbs of whey can last me for 2 months max.

I'm staring wonder how in the world's this related to pre and post workout nutrition.

Your normal meals. With lower carbs. Don't eliminate carbs though. And why can't you start building muscle and lose weight at the same time? More muscle = more fat burning capacity.

GI
Watermelon 100
White rice 90
Fructose alone 38
Potato 60+

Calories
1 cup of white rice= 16 tablespoons of rice = 200 calories.
100g of banana=90 calories
For calorie-counters, this should help a little.

I'm trying a new pre workout meal. kacang Dal and + any complete protein. Kacang dal contains about 20g of protein per 100g. So what do you guys say ?

My previous thread was locked, I was asked to read the stickies, and I understand the decision to lock it, but I have gone through the stickies, but still I can't exactly get an answer to my question, so I'm gonna post it again here. Also, some of the stuff I read, well, they are quite general. My situation is a bit too specific, which led me to re-posting my post.

Previously, for my work-out routine, I consume 21st century weight gain 3 times a day on work-out days( before + after work-out and before sleep) and 1-2 days on non-work out days.

http://www.21stcentury.com.my/product-view...1&id=p982099261

Now, I'm planning to up my game and consume these instead..

Before + after work-out : ON Whey Protein Gold Standard http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_on500.htm

Before sleep : GNC Pro Performance Myocell-SR http://www.gnclivewell.com.au/view/190/Pro...Myocell-SR.aspx

For amount, I'm planning to take as stated in the box.

I'm 18-19 years old, about 5 feet 7/ 5 feet 8. I think I'm about 60-70 kg. I eat about 4-5 meals a day.

What do you guys think? Am I going too fast? If so, how should my intake be?

You need carbs before your workout. Just whey protein won't cut it. I'd say combine that whey with a few slices of brown bread (2-3). Post workout, add dextrose to your whey or within half an hour go for a full well balanced solid meal.

Before sleep, well i normally take in 8 egg whites or so. You'd be wasting a lot of money on Pro Performance crap and all.
