    After a run? Meh, maybe half a gatorade, or a little cytomax if I have any left from the session.

    If it's a long bike ride, or an hour in the pool, I might eat a little chicken, or have a beer or three.

    usually a 2-scoop protein shake and a bunch of chicken, or pasta and meatballs, or chicken and pasta and meatballs, or a double patty burger with bacon.

    Whenever we have it around, melon; it accomplishes two goals (rehydration and refueling) at the same time.

    According to my trainer, you should have protein within the first 30 min post-workout (to get optimum use of that good stuff). I usually have a MaxPro chocolate shake immediately after, then grab some dinner (like chicken & veggies, or elk steak on spinach...)

    OH, and I love bananas. You can't make me give them up. ;-)

    Honestly, it depends on when my workout was. If it's first thing in the AM - breakfast (fruit with Greek yogurt, Oatmeal, Egg white breakfast sandwich). In the evening (post dinner) - a light snack (fruit, hard boiled egg, whole wheat crackers with topping).

    Usually, a smoothie: frozen blueberries, Silk, plain fat-free yogurt and a scoop of whey.

    You are shaky probably because your blood sugar is low. Your body is asking you to feed it. Is it time for lunch? If so eat that, or a hearty snack.

    I almost ate one of those the other night, and then I did a quick figure in my head and realized it wouldn't fit that day.

    Your trainer ever back any of that up with actual research? I've never seen anything legitimate supporting that claim.

    I think you and bananas need to work out your issues... this is the second banana bashing thread you have started today. It's becoming disturbing :indifferent:

    My dietitian says it's a load of bunk. The 30 minute part... It's still a good idea to eat protein if your kidney's can take it.,
