Workout nutrition?

[SkinnyKidd]

Here's my plan for today:

11:30am - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 medium banana
WORKOUT from 1 til 2:30
2:30pm - Protein bar (300 cal,38g carbs); Glass of milk(90 cal). Total = 51g carbs; 29 grams protein
4:30pm - Chicken,small bowl of salad, 1 medium yam

How am I doing? Is my post-workout meal alright? Too many carbs/not enough carbs? Should I switch up some stuff?

I'm 120lb btw.

Yo definitely need to eat more calories and up your protein intake. I would suggest replacing the protein bar with a protein shake because they have better ingredients and less added sugars, etc. Good Luck!

You need some protein with that oatmeal and banana. Most meals should have a protein and a carb and a healthy fat.

If you don't eat breakfast you should. Oatmeal(slow carb), banana(fruit sugar) and some eggs(protein) would be a great breakfast.

Then get some high protein meat like chicken breast, tuna or other fish like salmon in there with a slow carb like a potato and some fiber like mixed veggies.

Tell us more about your goals and how you want to eat.

Any good ideas for post workout carbs besides gatorade? My trainer has me on protein powder mixed with gatorade but I'd prefer real food.
