1. When it comes to your pre and post workout meal should they simply be 1/5 or 1/6 of your daily needs or should one contain more carbs or protein than the other?
2. How soon before your workout should you have your pre-workout meal and how long after your workout should you have your post-workout meal?
As always, any assitance is greatly appreciated, thanks.

1). Your post workout meal comes after your post workout recovery drink. This meal should be a sensible, balanced meal, consisting of 30+ gr. of protein, a good complex carb source, and a fibrous carb source.
2). Your pre workout meal timing depends on what you have. If you train in the morning for instance, and oatmeal is a part of your preworkout meal, 1 1/2 hours is usually a good time frame. Your post workout meal should come about 1/2 hour after finishing your post workout recovery shake.(this shake should be sufficient to last about an hour after training. That is, drink half immediately, then sip the rest for about 45 min. or so.)

Thanks bb1, I'm pretty close on the pre-workout meal, I mean I remember seeing a post(may have been your daily log) of yours staing you had oatmeal before your workout so I kinda adopted it when I have a morning workout, I also have a raw potato on my way to the gym occasionally, is that good, bad or necessary?
Thanks again.

A white potato is high glycemic, and can be useful if gotten to the gym fairly quickly after consuming it. It is much better to have some slow burning carb source to "fuel" your workout. If you can eat a meal before the gym, have some brown rice and a protein source for instance. This is slow burning fuel and will do you good. You can always do raw oatmeal in the car. I do this alot. I am so used to it it fine. Or if you want, mix up a shake before you leave your house, and drink it along your way. Put raw oats in it along with your protein.
