Protein After Cardio
Q: I get done working out at 9pm 5 nights a week, should i have anything to eat or any protien mix after that? I do three nights weightlifting and two cardio.
A: Yes, you should eat after your workouts. After cardio workouts, at least have the protein. After weightlifting workouts, you should have a complete meal -- just go easy on carbs since it's night time, use mostly veggies for carbs. For example, chicken caesar salad with olive oil (don't use commercial dressings), or a steak with green beans and carrots, or salmon and broccoli. You can also use the same protein mix too, just have some other light carb and a source of fats along with it -- even something as simple as protein mix and a handful of almonds.
