Help! Protein Powder/Exercise? My get up and go ... went.
I have a question for you all. I am currently doing Firm 3x week and doing treadmill 3x and weights 2x. I am finding that I have been running out of gas, especially after my scheduled rest day.
I keep my carbs to usually under 20, have added in 1/2 c of strawberries about 45 min before I work out. My food intake is clean, eggs sometimes bacon for breakfast, tuna salad, egg salad for lunch, and generally a hamburger patty with salad and veggie for dinner, alternated with porkchop or chicken breast. If I get hungry, I snack on nuts. I do not use bars or shakes at all, nor do I eat any form of LC products.
Would protein powder help me get back some of my get up and go? Is it better before workout or after? What is a good amount?
I have been searching the board and can't find much info on it. According to Fitday my protein average is 24% for daily intake.
I also take a daily vitamin, 2 magnesium, 2 500 calcium.
Suggestions? I can't stand this weak tired feeling!
