Pre-workout - Carbs (Burgen Wholemeal & Seeds with Olive Oil spread for AM, Tuna on Rice Cake Thins if PM)
During is just my BCAA's (International Protein Aminos or Xtend)
After - Protein Shake (International Protein WPI)
Pre: 2hrs b4 - Steak, rice, brocoli, onion, capsicum, almonds, fishoil.
During: Water
Post: MR and a little bit of something sweet if its floating round at work.
Being serious though it's not as bad as it sounds and you do get used to it, plus its better then the side effects l get from having WPI or something similar.
Pre and post workout nutrition is very essential as if you do not eat throughout the day you will die. Other than the death and not eating throughout the day thing it is NOT essential and just provides a small benefit in recovery.
Mine is as follows:
Pre-workout: Shake (milk and whey) or a caffeine drink containing a little sugar if I am tired (rare).
Post workout: ~2000 calories, usually between ~200g pro, ~100g carbs and ~80g fat. That is a meal and keeps me going for the rest of the afternoon/evening since I have it at 3-4pm.
