Question about nutrition

[john_l]

I’m on the 12hr PR plan & in wk3.

What recommendations do you have for ensuring that I am eating enough/the right stuff post work out? I tend to put on & lose weight quickly, even though I’m relatively slight build & sub 150lbs.

Thanks

Immediately after training have a recovery drink with glutamine such as Recoverite or Ultragen. Within 2.5 hours have a normal meal with a combination of carbs, fat and protein.

Use professional testing or an online calculator to estimate your BMR and estimate how many calories you burn with your exercise on top to know how much to eat daily to maintain your weight. Other than your post workout recovery drink, focus your diet on lean meats, fish, seafood, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts. See the book, The Paleo Diet for Athletes for finer details.
