Eat more fibrous carbs, more protein and some good fat like olive oil. -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.

You might want to find something with less fat ini t for after your workout. Muscle milk might be a good bedtime snack, too. This, of course, will all depend on your caloric allowance and how much fat you get otherwise. -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.
