I need to put the right things in my body before and after I work out, so I end every workout with some sort of protein shake to help me get the most out of my training.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After workouts, I always try to eat protein right away, like a protein smoothie or an organic protein bar - you get them online.
After a workout, I have a protein drink and always keep a protein bar in my bag.
I drink protein shakes nonstop - three or four a day - and I run a lot, so you get rid of the bad carbs and keep the rest so you have the energy to make it through.
I drink a lot of protein shakes and do a lot of weight lifting.
Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.
I snack on fruit and nuts. In the middle of my long workouts, I'll have a protein shake.
Before training, I eat slow-release energy food, such as porridge or muesli, especially in the morning. Afterwards, I eat protein so my muscles are able to recover, such as a protein bar followed by a meal of chicken and vegetables. I always stay hydrated during workouts by drinking plenty of water throughout.
I train in the mornings, and I'll eat two breakfasts. I'll have waffles with flax seed and almond butter and one egg scrambled. Then I'll work out and have a second breakfast - another egg or a protein shake. Within a half-hour to 40 minutes after a workout, that's when you want to load up on protein.
For breakfast, I make an amazing protein shake with fruit, Greek yogurt, protein powder, flaxseed oil and honey. It's a nice way to get a healthy start and a little bit of sweetness, too.
I always start the day with a protein shake: protein powder mixed with water, peanut butter, and yoghurt to thicken it up.
