need advice late dinner

[shane320]

Hi

I have recently re joined gym and have got in a good rhythm for strength training. however i tend to get hungry after gym and eat dinner and sleep before 2 hours of eating. so hardly any time to digest the dinner.

Being half indian my dinner varies from veg curries to meat curries with whole meal bread and rice. I was thinking replacing dinner with supplement so i fill full and i dont have to worry about undigested food turned into fat.

I weight 82KG and 173cm tall, a bit chubby and have a medium sized belly. My drinking habits = less of beer, scotch whiskey 2-3pegs 2-3 X a week.

Protein shake right after gym, and when you get home get a plate 3/4 meat and 1/4 rice. go to bed in 2 hours. Or just sit around on the internet browsing stuff, you can easily spend 2+ hours on there..

What about replacing the whole meal with supplement?

Oh, two hours is fine. In fact, that's more than enough time between when you eat and bed. Just watch the carbs at night if you're trying to lose fat

since your a bit chubby, do your weights and have a protein shake after workout, then when you get home have another protein shake like an 45mins later, the protein shake should have casein protein, 100ml milk, 150ml water and like 1/4 cup of oats and blend. This will give you low GI carbs and long acting protein that will feed your muscles while you sleep without having excess carbs/fat that will turn into fat around your gut. I personally would consider adding like a handfull of almonds to the shake also. They have fat in them, but it is good fat that assists with the transport of fat for energy and keeps your hormones at a healthy level to produce good amounts of anabolic activity for muscle growth.

do you do cardio?

Thanks, I will give this a try, what do you recommend for protein shake? i was suggested Horleys Ripped Factors.

Yes, 10-15 cross trainer before my workout, as a warmup. and dedicated cardio day after every weight workout day.

personally I think such proteins like that are quite expensive and therefore luxary, if you dont have alot of money to spend on protein, just get this

much cheaper and good quality protein for its price.

and this protein for night time in the shake

My friend has won the Horleys ripped at a competition in a gym, he is going to sell it to me for $45. But i will buy your recommendation once i have finished this.

[shane320]

I forgot to mention that i also take superpump 250 lean mass 30-40min before going to gym, it does help me. Would it be advisable to take it while i start Horleys ripped after gym?

If you combine the two you might have some sleeping issues as the ripped factors seems to be protein with some stims.
