I think everyone is different, if i have a hard training session, ill eat a lot of protein direclty after and rest.
fisrt thing in the morning i dinrk about a litre of water maybe a small glass of milk to get some small amount of protein and then head to work and have a cup of joe there…sometimes i will a banana of biscuits but more often than not my first food of the day would be a low gi bread sandwich consisiting of turkey ham lettuce and a slice of swiss #athlete[/quote]
Think the protein can’t just be gotten in after the session, has to be continued throughout the day. Agree everyone is different and someone like me aiming to put on a few pounds will be different to chubby lads like Rents trying to starve themselves skinny.
+1 on the instant coffee Horsebox, wouldn’t touch the stuff.

is it a bad thing not being a big breakfast eater?[/quote]
glasagusban, drinking a coffee after a smoothie sounds disgusting
i dunno how ye lads have time to eat breakfast
i had a treble espresso and a muffin herself made on my 50km spin in to work this morning at 7
at about 10 i had an apricot flavoured yogurt, a few slugs of water and a cheese and tomatoe sandwich
ill go for lunch there is a while
energy bursting out of me, cant wait for training later
I would have just assumed so mickee pal as eating chocolate in general wouldn’t be hugely advised bit I could well be wrong-it wouldn’t be the first time.

thats interesting about the water in the morning
why do you do it and do you feels it helps?[/quote]
Always wake up with a huge thirst on me so would down a pint of water first thing and then drink another pint after brushing my teeth etc… i do fell it helps as it wakens one up and counteracts any diuretic effects of coffee
I’m eating like a mother fucker lately! It’s worrying… 45 mins ago I had a feed of bacon and cabbage, and after an apple, banana and a pink snack. I’m not even near full and i’m thinking about food already. Last night I had two fish cakes, a load of stir fried veg, 3 peaches, and a chocolate ice lolly. Within 40 mins I had a corn on the cob and two pks of crisps and wanted more…

That’s not that much man, what will you have for dinner this evening? If what you’re eating is reasonably healthy then indulge yourself.
Today I’ve had a large smoothie with juice fruit, linseeds yoghurt and oats, and a protein shake, followed by 3 poached eggs with avocado on brown bread. Washed down with rakes of black coffee. Had an apple and some apricots earlier, and just had pasta veg and chicken in a sacla tomato sauce with some cheese for lunch. Flyin off to Spain this eve so ill have a protein shake and some fruit before leaving and I imagine a steak dinner tonight.

Pal, just gorge for another day or two. Get it out of your system. Recommence more astute eating from Sunday onwards to complement your training and fitness regime.

But they are only one meal a go. I’m hungry here again and it’s only been an hour… a fooking hour!
Tonight I plan to have some sea bass, sweet potato and some greens- and probably fruit. What’s worrying is the chocolate and ice cream really, it’s a daily thing now. I need to get back on the green tea, kills the longing for sweet things.

Bandage is right, gorge yourself, devour a pizza and rake of icecream or some such tomorrow night and start afresh the following day. Start carrying more healthy snacks around with you so you don’t reach for the bars of chocolate, there is so much nice fruit in season now, try flat peaches, they’re amazing.
