Not exact matches
If your
workouts are nothing less than brutal and you hit the gym more than 4 times
per week, you should strive to consume around 1.5 grams of protein
per pound of
bodyweight, while making sure to include as many different high - quality protein sources as possible, such as grass - feed beef, wild fish, dairy products, eggs and beans, and always have your protein powder with you.
On your 10th day, no more than two hours following your
workout, you should look to consume 1 gram of carbohydrates,
per pound of
bodyweight, so if you weigh 250 lbs, you'll need 250 grams of carbs, from simple sources such as pizza, cakes, fries, ice cream, cookies, and so on.
You'll need to experiment to find out your sweet spot - but for me personally I focus on doing 3 resistance style
workouts per week (either using my
bodyweight, or some equipment), 1 - 2 cardio sessions
per week - one being a HIIT (high intensity interval training) or Tabata
workout, and the other being either a run, a spin class or something else that's just fun and gets me going if I have time and energy.
Finally, the best weight loss program uses all of these interval training, resistance training,
bodyweight exercises, and total body ab movements to help you lose weight in only three short
workouts of 45 minutes
per week.
30 to 50 grams of carbohydrate before a
workout is great for boosting performance and 1 gram
per kilogram of
bodyweight is enough for post-
workout needs.
Well, there's no exact answer, because many variables come into play, such as how many days
per week you work out, the intensity that you work out, your age, the type of
workout you're performing (slow cardio, intense
bodyweight training, weight training, etc), and many other factors.
