Lean steak+brown rice post work out??

[Merante]

I'm wondering if that would be a solid post workout meal along with a isolate shake? Probably wrong section but just wondering thanks in advanced

[Merante]

I would be eating it daily and cholesterol isn't an issue

[eatyourspinach]

Doesn't have to be lean, rice doesn't have to be brown, shake doesn't have to be isolate.

Of course it's fine as long as it's helping you hit your macros for the day.


Red meat every day is bad for you though, so id probably do some research. But from a caloric perspective it's fine.

"Red meat" is a very broad category so I wouldn't go ahead and state that consuming it every day is "bad for you".

[yourname2221]

yeah thats fine

[bodybuilder03]

Yes that's fine to do. But as said above white or brown are fine and it doesn't have to be an isolate it can be just a quality blend as well.

Sounds delicious and like a great post-workout plan. I tend to pound a shake fairly soon after leaving the gym (Milk Protein Isolate mostly) and then follow it up with beef and veggies/rice when I get home.

[Merante]

Alright thanks and I just didn't see much on it so I was curious.. Usually chicken and rice but I love steak hah

[aaronuconn]

Absolutely fine post workout. Or anytime or that matter.

I eat homemade hamburgers from Angus beef and brown rice put the right spices in and it's amazing. Some Blairs Ultra Death Hot Sauce definitely helps too

[TheJediBrah]

I feel like I've been sent back to a time before we knew about calories and macros

[llahhsoj]

Seems like a solid choice to me. The important thing is hitting your macros.

[XCriticalBenchX]

I would prolly barf it up, but if u can tolerate whole food post workout, then sure.

Meal timing is irrelevant

[Loyboy1996]

As big as you look in your picture , You should already know what's working for you .

[Merante]

I know what's working I just want to get it as good as possible.. Thanks for the replies

that is my favorite post workout meal but quality beef is kinda expensive where i live so i go for chicken or pork ( lean )
as for post workout shake ( optional ) i go for 2 scoops of Combat Powder or 2 scoops of ON Gold Standard (or 1 combat and 1 gold standard ) and 5-10g creatine ...

I would not go more then 5 g of creatine a day otherwise you will have GI issues

Very unlikely to be honest

[aaronuconn]

That's not quite true. Although consuming more than 5g daily once a saturation point has been met may be not needed, it's not a definite that individuals will experience GI issues.

@Merante I had that same meal yesterday had about 9 oz. of steak ...post workout an hour after i had my protein shake. It's a good amount of protein and its delicious however, its definitely slower digesting and depending on the cut has a lot of fat. My personal suggestion don't eat it everyday eat it maybe twice a week and find another good source of meat to eat. Bison and Lamb are both good replacements, Lamb has a better nutritional value and still has A LOT of protein and Bison meat is very lean and has a high amount of protein. Just my 2 cents pal , goodluck !

I'd say it depends on the individual

Lamb is delicious but it can have a weird smell lol.

Even if I buy the better quality, more lean stuff? I used to do a lot of chicken but steak is just a lot better to me taste wise either or ill eat them both but just whatever is healthier I guess

Chicken is certainly leaner. Steak can be really high in fat depending on the cut. Post a bout of weight training, protein and carbs are more essential to ingest. Personally, I try to eat my fats further away from my workouts as I become less active at the end of the day.

Nothing is more or less "essential" to digest at any time of day.

[mcapote3]

I'd eat it, but i would probably want to switch it up to not get boring throw some chicken breast, sweet potato, pork loins, etc.

Simply reading the title of this thread over the past few days has given me a huge craving for steak.
