Post workout nutrition and protein source check
Hi,
I'm recomping (5"5, 130lbs skinny fat male), I train in the mornings at 6:30, prior to training I take 10g BCAA, post training I walk my dog for an hour though I have another 10g of BCAA immediately after training. I tend to break my fast around 10am, this may be after 3/4 sets of weighted chin-ups as it's something I'm looking to incorporate between meetings on my training days.
My post workout meal is normally 70g Weetabix, 300g of Greek Yoghurt, and 30g of peanut butter with 2 vegan sausages (TVP). It normally works out at about 65g of protein. With a second meal at around 3pm again with vegan sausages and 100g of basmati rice coming to 40g of protein.
Are my timings ok for this? I can take a protein shake immediately after though I'm trying to eat my foods where possible. Unfortunately I can't really eat sooner as I have meetings. Also I wanted to see if TVP and vegan protein sources were ok as my staple. It's cheaper and more convenient for me to eat as I can store loads of frozen sausages in my chest freezer and they require little effort to make. If I need to eat animal protein I can add that in though if I can reap all the benefits from plant based protein, I'd rather do that.
Additionally, if timings are ok, if I were to move my first meal to 3pm, what should my BCAA intake look like? Asking as eating food takes time, I'd rather enjoy my meals rather than having to stuff my face quickly. It'd also help with fasting, I don't IF anymore as I struggle with fasted training if my last meal was as 5/6pm, though if I could have my first meal at 3pm and last at 9pm, I think I'd be able to fast and train fasted.
