I have just started taking a daily multivitamin about 3 days ago. I also eat a protein energy bar after I workout. For some reason I get exausted really easily :surprised:.
Could it be the combination of the 2 is giving me too much of a mineral? or should I just ditch the multivitamin? I was feeling 10x better just eating the protein bar.
Thanks
-Tim

you want to eat your protein right after you work out. keep taking the vitamin. How is the rest of your diet? you need more than just a protein bar before a work out.

I am really over weight also!! bUt I feel like a million bucks. Try spreading your meals out more same foods but over more meals. Think of building a fire if you throw a huge log on it will burn a little then stop. if you throw little bits of kindeling on over time, you get a good strong long burning fire.

You shouldnt work the same muscle groups back to back without rest. Are you taking your vitamins in the morning with food? Having your bar 30 min before working out is ok. And you should feel exhausted by the time you finish your workout, 45-60 min probably. As you get used to it you will feel less worn out, that is when you will need to add to or change your workouts. mm's split is a good example or if you are just starting out you could try a total body workout, 3x a week with rest inbetween each one. The way you are doing it will not get you the results you want. Muscles grow during rest and yours are not getting any.

thank you so much for both of your advice. I do agree I need to rest. It is not only after my workout I feel exausted, it is every day for the past 3 days now, I think I need to calm down alittle, because I have been doing strenuous excercises. I am also taking my vitamins every morning with my breakfast. So I am going to stick with the vitamin thing. Thank you for the advice.
