Pre and Post Gym Meals

[Recca Gatsby]

Started hitting it hard again training, trying to get a sense of what to eat before and after. Dont really eat before, just drink a lot of water. But post gym its been: two eggs, tuna, spaghetti, and spinach.

Just wanna get a feel of whats correct

I dont like training on a full stomach. I do my cardio fasted with only water in the AM. In the afternoon I hit the weights and usually have 1-2 meals in but give myself time to dogest it all.

After I usually eat alot of proteins, greek yogurts and trail mix nshyt

It's really personal preference. Outside of making sure you have a good solid protein source after training, just make sure you are eating towards your overall goal.

Pre: Probably oatmeal with banana or something egg-based if I'm in a rush.

I used to get right off a PB&J if I absolutely NEEDED something, but it seems that I'm allergic to PB now, so....

Post: Any goddamn thing...but I usually keep most meals pretty clean.

Makes it more sustainable for me to adhere to over time
On the higher days those are typically carb heavy so more cals.
