just finished my workout, I NEED TO KNOW NOW

@romethemaverick 1 year ago

Two reasons I have a shake after each workout:

1. I'm hungry
2. It's tasty

last time I came this early she didn't call back

tldr: up to 3hrs after wourkout, 40-60g protein 30-100g carbs maybe some fruit.

Mike was exceptionally clear and professional in this one, these are the ones I can share to anyone

The idea of finishing a workout and not have your body screaming at you to within an hour or two to give it food is foreign to me

This simultaneously validates my pre-existing belief that the post-workout window is overhyped and my choice to lift right after work and then chase it with a well-balanced dinner. Thanks Doc!

Love when Dr Mike locks in during a video, just purely helpful and informative, thank you for this

Dr Mike really brought his 'A' game with his analogies in this video.
Also, I finished working out 3 hours ago, and I inhaled an entire pork tenderloin while watching this.

As a unicorn that struggles to put on weight the most important thing about the post workout meal is that I am hungry and willing to eat a lot which helps me get the total calories and protein up.

@masterchief3658 1 year ago

Amount and quality of protein is probably the most important. Timing seems to be growing less and less important as more studies come out. Thanks Dr Mike

14:18 I knew it! It was all another Gatorade commercial

Sticking to a shake routine is better than trying to take it later when you don't feel like one

It's basically the comparison of do you want to casually play a game or do you want to figure out how to min max the game and every piece of equipment in it possible?

After being away from fitness for 6 years, I've come back to a whole new world with how people think & train. Its crazy what changes in such a short timespan.

I slam a whey shake mixed with honey, 1:1.4 protein to carb ratio. Shuts down the cortisol real fast and the insulin spike is like gassing up on a formula 1 pit stop.
