I kept a pack of 4 cooked 'skinny lizzy'* sausages next to the squat rack last time just in case.
Made sure I munched them down the second I finished to get in the right 'window'.
I'd already eaten the other two of the six pack before hand to ensure I was fully sorted.
Better safe than sorry, I say... some people reckon it's just a myth... but how many have thought that then actually died? They're not around to say "I'm sorry, I was wrong" if that's the case!
'True story' - though my 'gym' is at my work unit and no one else was around.
I almost ate one after doing deadlifts. Then thought, "oh, still got pull ups and don't want extra weight!". Then I added a 6kg dumbbell between my knees for the pullups.
Bit silly, me.

That's why they set this up:
There was something like this set up in our gym a little while back, but it was Chick-Fil-A. The only people hitting it up were the rather muscular guys, and the...more than slightly out of shape. Everyone on a treadmill was looking at them as if they were handing out free plague.0 -

I'm going to find a way to use "tucking in" every day from now on.0

Starvation mode is easy to avoid. When you see your health bar get down to 1/3rd and it starts blinking go step on a medkit (the white box with the red + on it) and it'll restore 25 health points. They respawn every 30 seconds so you can just keep doing that to keep your health high enough to stay out of starvation mode.0

Well, I don't know about all this fluff, but I will say, since drinking a protein shake at home after a lift day, I don't have the soreness I used to have.
Plus by that time I'm running late to work, so drinking and getting ready for work is about all I have time for... until the next feed about 2-3 hours later0 -

This is not a myth this is a true story..hubby did Iron Man, Lanzarote and through the course there were tables set up and kids handing out half bananas, all black and gunky.. so if you are in a gym and you got the whole Chick-Fil-A stall going on then tuck in :laugh:0
