Hi

Do you think its ok to eat one of my meals After
my workout because i dont finish training until 9.00pm (work,Kids Etc)
and generally i go to bed within a hour or so.
Or should i try a protein shake of some sort (any Ideas )

I know you should eat within a short while after training
but also you shouldn't eat before bed ??

I cant train any other time
 
you will find can find oposing opinions on this one... one thing I learned in my eating/timing research,,, is "chew properly" very important... then your stomach is not full of chunks of food to grind and work on. I am going to leave the caloric timing to the better educated.
 
dude...eat skim cottage cheese and flaxseed oil if u eat late at night...the casein protein will work all night long nbaby...and flax is just great anytime of day drew

if you can sleep ok and
if you cant train any other time go for it ,its better than not eating,at the end of the day its your total cals that count.
 
I usually work out in the evening and don't get my last "meal" in until 8:30 or 9:00 PM. I try to keep it mostly proteins (tuna and non-fat cottage cheese) and that curbs my hunger.

My 2 cents--
 
Your body's needs for nutrients post workout are very, very important. Forget about what time it is, you need simple carbs and protein immediately after a workout, and really you should get another meal in an hour or so after that.

I do dextrose and whey shake after a workout, and lemme tell ya, heavy weights make me hungry. An hour after having that shake, I need more food. This time though, I eat a slower digesting carb with a protein. Some chicken and brown rice is good. You will hear a lot of people say to ease up the carbs as the day goes on, but if you are working out late, you need to get them in.
