Ensure that you get a meal (a shake will do) 15-30 minutes prior to a workout. In the meal, you want to make sure that include 40-50 grams of carbohydrates to fuel your workout and give you more energy in the gym. Also make sure that you get 30-40 grams of PROTEIN in the meal which will help you build muscle over time! Dietary fat is not necessary.
Ensure that you get a meal (another shake will do if time is a factor) immediately following a workout. In the meal, you want to make sure that include 0.4 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight, which will help keep your muscle breakdown rate low. Also make sure that you get 30-40 grams of PROTEIN in a quickly digestible manner like whey protein which will assist in muscle growth. A few bananas in a protein shake is an excellent way to get the macros needed to build muscle, or maintain the muscle while losing fat.
