Patrick Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hello all, Could anyone tell me what meal is the best to eat after a workout? I'm takinfg Vega and love it, but am so damn hungry. I do not want to put fat on, but I feel like eating anything vegan. Appreciate your feedback. Veganpotter--do you have any ideas?

Guest Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Immediately(within 30-45 minutes) after a workout you should have lots of carbs with little fiber. Maybe a sweet smoothie with some chlorella or spirulina would be good or 2 bananas. Maybe two hours later you should have a well balanced meal with carbs, protein, and some fat. Lately I've been in a wrap kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately I've been in a wrap kick. Potter's right.. eat bananas lots of bananas before, durning and after, add some greens with bananas after a meal. I usually add vega after my workouts. It too high in protein when I'm in traning.. Then a huge bowl of salad with lots juicey veggies, grounded, flax and avacado. It's juicey and watery enough so you won't have to add oils or dressing to your salad. ! Lately I've been in a wrap kick. What do you put in your wrap Potter?

Odidnetne Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 A lot of us on here eat burritos post workout, either at home or from a local burrito establishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neven Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 50-80 grams of dextrose and 30 grams of soy protein powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Strawberry soy yogurt with a scoop of hemp protein powder. And alot of water to push the hemp through the intestines with all that fiber in it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinkingman85 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 fruit with isolated protein powder for fast absorption. I use the alive rice and pea protein shake with a banana and some kale juice all in a smoothie. Plus, I have some vitamin C, carnosine, carnitine, and taurine. I'm only taking protein powder because I'm bulking. Otherwise, I'm fine without it. About 2 hours past the shake, I'll maybe have about 1.5 cups of beans with some broccoli/cauliflower and avocado. From my experience, I gain fat easily when I up my grain consumption, not my fat. However, body's are all different. Play around, just make sure that green veggies are in there! They saved my life. Chlorophyll is one of the important things I am thankful for in life . Popeye knows what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
