Post workout free meals?

There is a Jamba Juice around the corner from the new gym I just joined, and I figured I could get a juice after my workouts, with protein and fiber, of course. However, i won't do it if it's going to have a negative effect on my diet.

In fact if you are going to have something 'sweet', this would also be a good time, or as you know any white stuff like a potato, etc. As this is still a time when insulin surge will not make much difference. When bulking, I normally have my protein shake, followed by my next meal of what some consider junk, like a baked potato or even an ice cream with that meal. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."

Say u could get enough protein and some carbs would the actual quality of the food help you anymore. Say from a steak and chips to say chicken and brown rice. As long as you were getting right amount of each thing would it make much difference to do with the quality??? hope that made sense:laugh: -------------- OBSESSION is a word the lazy use to describe the DEDICATED

I shoot for protein, but then enjoy whatever at this meal. The rest of the day I am line with the police mentioned above. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."

Is that good? Should I try to eat more fruit/veggies right after work out or at any specific time? -------------- Jonathan (jonnnyko@hotmail.com) *** Nothing Is Real but Pain Now ***
