Post work-out meal day

[Reakt]

I don't know about anyone else but as soon as I finish my workout and until I go to bed I really boost up my intake of food. I can't keep it up all week because of the cost and the fact that I only workout twice a week so I'd probably get fat very quickly.

So does anyone else have a normal diet on workout days? If it's the same each day then what is your normal diet?

In my work-out day I usually have after my workout (in order):

Post-workout:
.Protein shake
.Fruit
Rest of day:
.I usually fill up a bowl of Peanuts or Cashew nuts and pick at it throughout the night. By the time I go to bed it's finished and thats about 600 Calories and 30g of Protein.
.I try to have a pint of Water every half an hour.
. 2 egg Yolks and 4 egg whites scrambled or boiled (about 250 calories, 25g of protein)
. 1-2 cans of Mackerel (150 cals each, 15g protein)
. Chicken/turkey in whatever form (probably around 200 calories, 30g of protein)
. Smoked Salmon (200 cals, 10g protein).

So over about 6 hours thats 1400 Calories and 110g of Protein. Any other snacks including stuff like Bread probably bumps it up to 1500-1600 cals.

That's just my work-out day diet. On non-training days I usually cut out the Peanuts (because of the high amounts of salt).

Anyone else?

Just wrote a lenghtly reply thinking it was your whole diet.. Anyway, it's hard to say if it's any good post workout seeing as that depends on what you've eaten before as well.

Diet is a very individual thing, I have spent a lot of time experimenting but this is a typical day for me. I am 45 years old 5'8'' at 165lbs. my body fat is 6% and I workout 6 days a week with 2 hour long karate classes per week and 4 1.5 hour weight training sessions. I also do cardio as needed right now walking the dog every morning 2 miles is enough or I start to drop mass.

That diet looks well calculated, similiar to mine except I have steak and eggs sometimes, normal potatoes instead of sweat and my only supplements at the moment are brewers yeast, ZMA and fish caps. I do have more fat though 25g flax powder, some pure peanuts and fish caps. The ZMA may not be all its cracked up to be but it helps me sleep and have crazy dreams, plus Dan John advises magnesium supplementation i think.
