Input on if i should add another meal in ? was created by The DAB
I've recently redone my diet but i have some confusion in my pre workout meal.
I train at 6pm in the afternoon. At about 3pm/3.30pm i have a meal containing +/- 50g protein/40g carbs.
I usually dont eat again before i train at 6pm. Would it be too much if i added another meal of say things like whey, raisins, honey, yohgurt at about 5pm, an hour before i train ?
I'm assuming that will be fine if those added carbs/calories (5pm meal) dont go over my daily intake then it will be fine. If adding that meal in does ubrupt my daily intake (cutting/ buliking) should i adjust my other meals during the day to compensate for that extra meal ive added.
Also if i get home from training at about 8pm, should i still consume post workout carbs (dextrose/virtago) even if its so late in the day?
Thanks your advice will be greatly appreciated

i think that would be a good idea as 2,5 hours is a long time to eat before training. I would be hungry by then and my workout would suffer if i didnt eat an hour before. Yes consume your vitargo post workout even in the evening. The insulin spike is necessary to shuttle aminos into the muscle. I normally have 40g vitargo intra workout and then my whey shake directly after. An hour later i have 80 grams of low gi carbs in my post workout meal. You shouldnt put on fat provided you are within your daily calorie range

Take your vitargo with u to gym and mix it directly after ur workout. That way u can consume it while u on ur way back home.
