What to eat before/after workout

lose weight do cardio and eat lightly or things with little fat

taking protein supps increases muscle gain and hence your weight

if you run on a regular basis, then your matabolism will be higher- therefore burning more calories when you're body is at rest.

-i like working out in the morning after eating a light breakfast- thats when you should be consuming your protein in eggs, not a bar.

---breakfast jump starts your metabolism- you're more likely to eat less the rest of the day.

losing weight isn't one straight answer.

-running and weight training is key to keeping your weight down along with well balanced meals- don't stop eating carbs- pasta is excellent for running

protein bars are more for marathon runners...they're meant to nourish and energize bodies for a long duration of time

After a workout your body needs protein to help with recovery. It's the best time to eat when your metabolism is still elevated. Protein bars are more convenient than regular food, most of the time.

You have to choose but stick to low fat,low cal, sugar free foods.Don't eat the protein bars, look at the sugarts,,there is a protein drink that should be available at healthfood stores. One was called 1895 suppliment. It may not be available at your store, but there are others.Eat a large helping of veggies. I do this, 2 cans of sweet sue broth, chicken or beef, boil turnips(they aren't that bad)cut fine, a potato, can of peas, carrots, diced, any others you like and brown a pound of stew meat, low fat,. this will give you taste, protein, and energy.

calories dont matter, its the carbs that phuck you up, you have to eat after exercise because you need to put yout body in anabolic state, so that it rebuilds muscle, making you lose fat too, you eat before workout to have the energy to workout, and then you eat like 30 min after workout to prevent muscle loss, Im a bodybuilder and what I do is eat 40min before workout, just a small low fat meal, and then right after workout I down a protein shake and then 30mins later I eat some meat with cheese and some veggies, all low fat and low carb foods

Well, I'm a college student so I usually eat in the cafeteria...But before I workout, I usually ate vegetable and/or a medium salad. Because you don't want to eat heavy such as bread or meat, because you'll just burn off what you ate. And then afterward, eat meat and very few carbs or sweets.

Try to eat fresh fruits, veggies, and drink lots of water.
