your workout thinking that you 'need' to replenish your carbohydrate stores (glycogen) in your muscles or any of that nonsense. Replenish your glycogen with your meals. Forcefeeding the muscles carbohydrate drinks post workout is only important in the short term if you need to perform i.e. train again in the next couple of hours. If you are not training again until tomorrow don't waste those valuable calories on a bottle of sugar water. Eat something and enjoy it.

Tip number five:

Don't eat pre workout. Pre workout snacks or anything that requires digestion pre workout will really only sit there in your stomach while you are training. Your body will concentrate on the training and puts digesting food second on the list. So why am I talking about pre workout? Easy; if you eat pre workout and then take a post workout shake and pour it on top of the undigested food from before the workout then your shake has to wait in the queue to be allowed to pass through the stomach. Pre workout shakes are permitted because they require little or no digestion and will help to initiate recovery as soon as you start training.

Cool eh?

Do this if you are seeking muscle gain and those that want to lose fat should stick to a small post workout shake.

Bonus tips:

Seeking muscle gain - Mix all of your shakes with water around your workout and add milk to any meal replacement shakes to boost calories.

Seeking fat loss - use water in your post workout shake. Using milk adds calories and insulin.
