Question After-gym food

[RobM]

OK I'm 63, reasonably fit, 1m80, 73kg so not exactly a body builder. I go to the gym about 4 times a week, I lift/pull about 20 tonnes a week. What's the best after-workout stuff to eat? Takes about 10 minutes to get home. Thanks.

Kebab & chips.

Depends on your goals? What are you trying to achieve?

I eat primula cheese from the tube and pretend I am an astronaut.

Two egg Omelette with spinach and tomato is always good for me, and quick to make after gym session

Just a general tone-up and add a little more muscle definition. Vanity mainly! I'll never have a body builder's frame, can't make a gourmet meal out of a limp lettuce!

You can make up your food before you go, if you cant wait to long after.

Back in the day when I would train hard, sometimes twice a day which was mainly aerobic. I would knock up a big salad size bowl of fresh pasta and a couple of tins of tuna or chicken and pad it out with salad stuff. I would eat that in 3 settings throughout the day.

Not every day of course, you can still treat yourself but it certainly burnt the fat off me.

I've had a kebab like that before.

If you want snack ideas then try Ember Biltong, it's delicious and a nice source of protein. It's £2 a bag in Waitrose and is often on special offer.

If you are unsure of eating something then wipe it on a piece of paper.

If the paper turns clear then it's your window to weight gain.

I try to go gym about 4-5 times a week depending on the situation at work. I have 2 eggs with a tin of tuna in the morning. then after the gym I'll have a ham, chicken and cheese sandwich I do at home. Probably isn't the best thing but I do 'high' intensity interval training so it's all about getting the heart rate up and keeping it up (phrasing) so i'm all about the protein.
