Hello Mates
My name is Alan,I am a newbie to this board & to bodybuilding.
I eat a chicken breast & pasta for lunch.Half an hour after my meal is eaten all I want to do is sleep.This sleepy feeling stays with me well until the arvo when I train & it is killing my workouts.I am too tired to lift.
I know the pasta is high in GI & that’s what’s causing the crash.I tried cutting back the amount of past I eat but that’s not helping,I am crashing really bad after lunch.Is there any way to counteract the crash? Would eating vegetables with my meal prevent a crash?
What if I swapped the past with rice? Would rice make me crash as well?
Also,I suffer from IBS so protein shakes are out of the question & I cannot eat eggs either. I eat oats(carbs) for breakfast but am finding it hard to find a source of protein to go along with the oats.I was wondering if drinking a glass of soy milk on its own was an adequate source of protein to go along with my oats? I know all protein isn’t created equal but I guess soy milk is better than nothing.
Thanks for reading & I’d appreciate any feedback
Cheers.
