    I usually ride at lunch...so whatever i'm having for lunch. i'm in the gym a couple nights per week so whatever i'm having for dinner and usually i'm in the gym mid morning on Saturday so whatever i'm having for lunch.

    i'm hitting the gym tonight and we're having grilled salmon, baked sweet potato, and steamed broccoli for dinner.

    I workout at 5 am so my breakfast is typically 100 grams of protein, 40-50 grams of fat some Carbs around a 1000 calories lunch is about the same then a small snack at night..

    I do use a scoop of chocolate protein powder in my 12 ounces of milk but just because I like the chocolate taste I get enough protein via my diet and the extra calories don't hurt me what so ever..

    I workout mainly in the morning and eat the same breakfast (afterward) nearly every day--soft boiled eggs, bread, fruit, coffee with milk.

    I usually have an apple, Greek yogurt, or plant fusion protein after every workout. I'm looking active members to support so please add me.

    I usually drink a whey/casein blend and eat a banana because they are fast and convenient.

    In general I find I don't need a post workout meal. I workout at lunch and/or evening. Eating my lunch after a noon workout & dinner after an evening workout works for me. On the days I do take an extra meal I usually eat whole foods such as eggs or 1/2 can tuna or salmon with a banana or Apple. I also keep a "paleo" or "simply" protein bar in my gym bag & some protein powder as a go to if I feel like that instead.

    Dinner. Sometimes followed by second dinner. Then first dessert and second dessert.

    Today I had a shoot after my workout so my meal was only 20 grams of oats and 3 servings of egg whites microwaved to avoid any bloat lol. But the usual is either egg whites, vegetables, and some form of oatmeal(:

    Generally a scoop of isolate, scoop of casein, 5g creatine MH, and a vegetable supplement. It's quick and easy and fills me up till I'm able to get home to make a proper meal.

    I finally got to try kodiak cakes this week and they have changed my life. But I got such a rush of energy from them, was thinking I should eat them pre-workout instead.

    I work out about an hour after breakfast. I'll have a handful of cashews after if I need it. Mostly I wait for lunch.

    Whatever and whenever my next meal is. I don't specifically eat post-workout.

    If I'm hungry, a snack of whatever I feel like at the time.

    I carb up after my workout. Nothing too crazy though. When I work out in the am, I'll do fasted cardio and have oatmeal for breakfast right after. When I work out after work, I'll have pasta or potatoes after.

    Some jerky and a slice of lowfat cheese, a fried egg sandwich with one egg, one piece of whole wheat toast and ketchup. Barilla high protein pasta with ragu sauce. Post workout is generally when I allow myself a carb source I typically can't fit into a 1200 calorie diet, with a protein.

    Chicken soft tacos -- grilled chicken, corn tortillas, cilantro, onion, and lots of salsa.
