mamatracy1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I am new to Veg/Strength training. I have lifted before, but that was years ago and I was a meat eater then. I am now veg and am not sure what to eat after a workout. I don't want to have to buy protein powders (I like to know what i am eating/drinking) so any other suggestions would be great. I usually workout after taking my kids to school (about 9am) so I have already had breakfast, usually a smoothie or oatmeal, at about 7am.

mrbear666 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 cant go wrong with another smoothie really, soya milk, bananas and some peanut butter......something like that.....or just a smoothie but with more fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenot Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The most important thing of all is to have a good diet throughout the day, don`t focus on pre/post workout , focus on your diet =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The most important thing of all is to have a good diet throughout the day, don`t focus on pre/post workout , focus on your diet =) it is important to have some thing post workout though, if muscle building/recovery is the goal. your body needs to replace what has been lost in the workout, e.g glycogen....... so it cant then begin to recover ready for the next workout.

vegan_rossco Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 +1 mike! Its a good idea to have something carby (sugary) with a bit a protein so that your body can anobolise, I tend to have protein power in fruit juice and then a big meal within the next hour or two after training, something simple like beans on toast would be sufficient ahha an example of a recent post workout meal of mine was, brown rice with mixed veggies and 500Ml of fruit juice and a scoop or two of soya protein powder! Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly agree, but a good post workout without a good diet is almost equal to nothing. What I meant by my post was to do first things first =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
