I exercise pretty regularly and strenght train while doing the cardio.... I have looked up the internet for some post workout meals and it says that it should have a minimal amt of fat and a ratio of carbs ro protien of 2:1 or 4:1. I did have a protien smoothie but hated the taste, any good post workout shake ideas which contains at least 20+ grams of protien and less than 360 calories?

What is your goal? Build muscles or tone up? Your training would dictate what you need to eat.

to basically get some muscle definition.. msinly to tone my stomach..

When you work out, you will want to concentrate on the areas that you want definition in. This is where a trainer will be helpful in guiding you on the proper techniques and work-outs.

As far as diet is concerned, if you really want more muscle mass, you will want the overpriced diet supplements like your protein smoothie.

If it's just some definition you are going for, then the diet is as simple as eating healthy, and don't over indulge in any type of food. Be sure to eat enough to account for the calories burned during your work outs. Plus, eat smaller meals and more often. For example, instead of a heavy lunch and/or dinner, have a lighter lunches dinners and snack in between. The idea is to keep your digestive system working all the time and maintain a steady conversion of energy. Instead of the stop-go-stop-go norm of breakfast, lunch and dinner. For some people, that's six meals a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a couple of snacks in between like fruits, energy bars, and even protein smoothies.

post work out meals/shakes should not contain fat, as it will slow the metabolism. You want a fast digesting protein and a relatively simple carb chain.

Mine usually consists of 50 grams of chocolate whey, sugar free and 2 medium banana's stuck in a blender with ice and water. Based on your size, cut that in half.

If you prefer solid food, 6 egg whites and fruit, or 1/2 cup of plain white rice

remember, you have at most 45 minutes for your body to use this material in a muscle building mode. After that, it becomes just "Another meal."

I dont get it! why does a girl with a fantastic shape like yourself wanna blow your figure?
muscles are not sexy on girls or guys!
:saint:

I really need to tone up and also what is sexy?? sexy is defined differently by everyone...:thumbup:

Sorry, but I have to agree with Sasha and think she has a valid point. In many parts of the world, a very thin person with no muscle tone would not be considered attractive at all. In other places, LOTS of curves are very desirable in other locations (Anyone seen a bollywood movie lately?)

Anyway, good luck in your goals Sasha!!
