Thanks.....That made sense. I eat lunch around 12 and I come home around 4:30, so I can go to the gym around 5 and then come back and eat dinner.
Can you give a few examples of carbs and protein foods? I absolutely have no idea what those may be.
I want to add to FF's reply...
when you eat your pre-workout meal make sure you do so 1-2 hrs before. A good pre-workout meal should include carbs such as brown or white rice, pasta's, breads...also be sure to add fruits which are packed with vitamins and some carbs which fuels your workout....bananas are always good to eat. Some also take a supplement 30 minz before their workout..this is just an option of course. Oh and dont forget to add some protein as well.
post-workout meal should always been eaten. nvr skip it! it doesnt have to be a big meal...something small can suffice as well. Post workout meals aids in recovery which is why it is necessary. You can drink a protein shake immediately after your workout and perhaps an hr later a meal which consists of a high protein diet....lean meats, chicken breasts, fish etc.
and as always...drink plenty of water before, during and after your workout.
