Right now i am in the middle of getting my diet together. What works for me before during and after workouts. Here is my problem: I workout late night, pretty much an hour and a half before the gym closes. When I get off I have a muscle milk and go to sleep. Any suggestions on post workout nutrition? Also I have taken everything under the sun as far a supplements; right now i like NO- Xplode and muscle milk for protein. I am looking for something that people have really experienced gains with, that don't bloat you, retain crazy water, and the minute you get off them to shrink like a balloon. So what do you think guys?

Have you tried any Gaspari products. I really like their Myofusion protein and SuperPump250. I head up to the gym at 5am so needless to say i'm a little tired and the SuperPump wakes me right up. The protein is by far the best tasting I have had to date(Delicious Vanilla). I take 2 scoops with milk before bed and it doesn't make me feel bloated or anything like that.

Thanks for the advice, i think i will try it out after I run out of my NO-Xplode. I used to workout every morning at 5 am as well, i switched to pm's now because of the energy levels.

I think you should switch back to AM workouts, I know waking up may be a B**** but post workout nutrition is very important. I'd like AM workouts myself but my gym doesn't open until 9! So I'm forced to start around 6:30, hit a shake afterwards, dinner around 9, then a shake around 11 which is bedtime. I always take that about 30 mins before sleep. Then I can sleep until 630 or 7 depending on my day.

I agree, AM workouts are much better once you get into the groove of it, and it will help with your diet/protein supplementation as well. It also gets it over with and then you don't have to worry about it late at night when you'd rather be sleeping.

Gaspari stuff rocks but you need to be more worried about real food than supplements. Spend that money on a few pounds of chicken and EAT IT ALL lol. You def need a full meal after a workout, shake then bed? nonsense!! 12-16oz of meat and some veggies man.
