Trying to loose 10 lbs of fat, what should I be eating after a workout?

im goona go ahead and say that protien isint the best thing to be having when you are trying to loose weight.

 

That is totally incorrect. Protein is the absolutely most important way to lose weight, specifically fat, by having a high ratio of protein to carbs. Maybe you meant huge protein shakes, like weight gain powders, in which case you may be right since hundreds and hundreds of calories is not what we're looking for. I'd say if you gotta pig out do it in the morn or after training but the rest of the meals of the day keep them small and controlled.

 

if your tryin to loose wieght you should definetly be drinking a protien shake after your workout if your still really hungry eat something very light (salad, fruit, etc) nothing to heavy

 

Well hey don't listen to me. Protien shakes are the BEST for loosing weight!

 

Protein powders varie. Just read them and it will say if they are for weight loss or not. Fruits will be your friend here, but dont over do it. Salad with fruit juice is also a winner. Stay away from ANY bread/cereal product.

 

go 4 water based fruits like tangerines or berries like strawberrys , the best would be veg tho thy contain very low kcals
bananas arent good 4 loosin weight 3 medium bananas would be in the region of 300kcals which is more than choclate bars and contain loadsa carbs
the way to lose weight is to take in less energy than u burn with lots of water

 

Right after a workout?
ANYTHING you eat will go to a good cause. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Stuff your face, you won't get fat from eating a good post-workout meal. Or even pre-workout.
You should have a lot of carbs and a lot of protein within 45 minutes of finishing a workout.
The thing is throughout the day and after your post-workout feed, watch the carbs. Don't eat too many and definitely don't eat any or at least many before going to bed.
You get fat from carbs that aren't taken in post-workout, and on non-workout days. They are dormant and become fat.

 

eat a apple there 85% water so you will feel full

 

When will you realise that losing weight is a very simple equation?

And as it happens, protein suppresses apatite, so it is good!

 

You need to eat within 30 to 45 minutes after working out, especially as long as yours is. Your body is in a catabolic state and you need to get something in it. A whey protien shake with no more than 45 grams of protien would be good. More protien than that at once is not doing anything but wasting your money.

 

Lose: fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense; "She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat"

Loose: not restrained or confined or attached; "a pocket full of loose bills"; "knocked the ball loose"; "got loose from his attacker"

I don't get how so many people get these mixed up.

For those who don't get it, you lose weight not loose.

 

This is my diet plan, taken from bodybuilding.com.

Supplement with anaerobic cardio on non-weight lifting days. I've lost several pounds in two weeks and have actually done little cardio , but I'm trying to catch myself back up so I've started taking my HIIT training more seriously and done some long-distance running as well. The weight is actually falling off pretty well :good
