Can't Miss A Meal

Q: When you skip your postworkout meal, what exactly occurs in the body? I know it's not good to do when trying to gain weight, but if you're trying to lose weight, can skipping the postworkout meal actually help?

 

A: When you forgo the post-training meal, the body tailspins into a true catabolic state where muscle breaks down and a hormonal shift occurs that accelerates muscle loss. This in turn triggers the metabolism to become more lethargic, thereby making fat loss somewhat of a challenge. In short, when you skip the postworkout meal, you're actually doing the opposite of what your hoping for: You end up burning muscle, not bodyfat. You should never skip post-training nutrition. You can cut back on your calories or carbs at other meals, but what you consume immediately after workouts ought to be substantial-40-60 grams of protein (preferably a fast-absorbing type such as whey powder) along with 40 grams of fast-digesting carbs at a minimum, and up to 100 grams depending on how hard you trained.
