After lifting

imbetween meals instead of chips try eating frozen dinners like pasta and chicken, shrimp with rice, etc. these are loaded with carbs and protein. and for breakfast mix whey protien kiwis, strawberries, and pineapples, yogurt and about a half cup of milk. also freeze this smoothie and eat it like ice cream for desert after meals. hope this helps.

Please dont eat frozen dinners. They are close to the worst thing you can put in your body.

After you workout get in 50-75 grams of carbs and 25-40 grams protein through whole foods or protein smoothie.

Thanks
And can I buy these protein smoothies at the store (what brand would be best?) or do you make this stuff at home?
Or, is there any specific foods I should eat? Right now I've just been eating cliff energy bars and a lot of milk and water.

Go to GNC with your dad and pick up some whey protein or weight gainer but the thing is you have hit the weights hard in order for those to take affect, but I am 5ft10, 188lbs. I bench 315, and squat 455lbs. and I have never seriously taken protein or any type of weight gainer, just constantly lifting got me to where I am at.

ok i am 16 without an income of my own, and my parents arent exactly rich. GNC, now there little smoothies and stuff might be good for you, but for a 14 year old kid. you start him on shakes that taste like **** now, he will be burnt out on this diet in two weeks tops. and i dont appreciate an adult coming on here and tryin to blow me out of the water. for your info ive gained 5 pounds of muscle and tone, eating those dinners (lean cuisine, heathy choice) and drinking whey protein that was 10 bucks a tub from walmart. when it comes down to it, its how hard you are willing to work in the weight room and on the field.

Does anyone feel like skipping a protein smoothie? How about trying something that actually tastes good with 30 grams of protein for 60 cents? The answer: Tuna. One can of tuna contains 32 grams of protein. But don't take my word for it- try it!

Your right there Gon2rE22, tuna is a great source of protein that I have picked up in my daily diet. Im starting a rountine after lifting of eating a

peanut butter sandwich 10g protein
can of tuna 30g protein
protein shake 40g protein

Drop the PB after lifting. Fats should be minimal as they slow down absorption.

yea drop the pb, and try eating only stuff that tastes like poo

The fact of the matter is,no matter how hard you work out and lift,you need to suppliment your body with the right things after you lift.

I do this:
2 scoops of whey protien
1 banana
milk

Get used to it.If you want food to taste good,then be an offensive lineman in football and dont play baseball
