pre and post workout meals

[mormonmuscle]

Just curious to know what you guys eat for your before and after workout meals, particularly what are your food choices for carbs?

egg whites and oatmeal before.

dextrose and hydrolized whey immediately after workout

yams and tuna one hour later

Is it bad to have simple carbs versus complex carbs before and after a workout?

You need those polysaccharides chains to full you during your workout. The simple carbs are just mono-saccharides, and your body will use them for glycogen replacement.

my pre workout meal is also my first meal.

3 whole omega eggs, 1 1/4 cups oats, 1 scoop isolate, 1 cup coffee.

post workout shake is 65 grams maltodextrin and 50 grams whey isolate.

I work out first thing in the morning, I might drink some of sports drink to fill my system with some type of energy. if I am on a good diet than I use Vitargo with powdered Vit C, glutamine in it. and then a protein shake right after that.
