what should you eat the dinner before/after you workout?

i thought it would be something high in fat to convert it into muscle but i dont really know for sure.

Go to the post "Need help with my workout plan" started by BillieGail. I posted a few links on there that will help your understanding of nutrition as it relates to exercise.

well usually the dinner before AND the dinner after my workout i would make a big ass hogie with mustard,vermont chedder cheese,usually ham and some other meat maybe,jalepinos,hot banana pepper rings,ranch dressing (really not sure if i should eating that), crushed red pepper,olives,vinegar, and hot sauce. its alot but its an awesome hogie

oh yeah and should i cange something im putting on my hogie or not eat a hogie like that at all, or should i just eat it for the dinner prior to my workout or what?

The hoagie sounds delicious, although it isn't considered clean at all. Cold cuts are very processed, the roll is not good as they aren't 100% whole wheat, ranch dressing isn't too good, and neither is cheddar - also very processed.

I usually have 3 oz. grilled chicken w/ 2 cups green veggies, "stir-fried" in a skillet w/ 1/2 T canola oil for my suppers.
