gfighta Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Like the title says, what are some good vegan pre/post work out foods to maximize gains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I like to eat bananas and apples or other fruits for my pre-workout foods. I think it works as a great boost of energy to get you going in the gym. Oranges and orange juice are also things I consume before hitting the weights, or other workouts. Post workout, supplements are great a few minutes after working out, they are used and absorbed quickly. Check out Vega, a really good supplement for post workout: www.myvega.com I also use some other protein powders, vegan creatine, glutamine and things like that. After the shake or drink taken within 15-20 minutes after training, I like to take in beans, broccoli, spinach, potatoes, rice and tofu. Not all at the same time, but those are some foods I take in. Others wanna share what you eat before and after training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V VII Hero Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I like bananas, strawberries, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, soy isolate, and figs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarz Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 You still munching the figs back home Topher?? You wanna check out prunes and dates too. I have bananas or oranges before a workout. Afterwards bananas or nothing until I get home when I will eat nuts, seeds or just wait to have a meal about an hour after training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanice Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I recently started using 1 cup soy milk (sweetend), if its sweetened use only 1/4 cup blueberries if unsweetened use a cup mix wid ice and a tblspn of natural pb! and you are good to go.Use fat if drinking after a cardio session on an empty stomach if not then skip the pb. You need to halt cortisol asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
