48 hours after workout: protein intake

Without question, the first 48 hours after you workout heavy you will need to stuff your gut with fatty beef if you hope to gain muscle and get stronger.

After those 48 hours what happens then?

I workout every 72 hours approximately. That means I got 48 hours of copious beef consumption but what happens after that? I still got 24 hours left until my next workout.

The answer is eggs. I'll go to Dunkin Donuts and get egg and bacon on plain bagel.  That'll be my main staple protein source for those 24 hours leading up to my next workout.

My reasoning is that per egg there are only 4 grams of protein but as far as amino acid profiles go, there is no food more perfect than an egg. They have all the amino acids in small proportions but they will satiate your muscles' constant hunger for protein without overdosing.  Too much protein will cause your body to expel it, and when that happens you're watching all of your expensive protein being flushed down the toilet.

Of course as you get stronger, that 48 hours time limit for protein intake will become irrelevant as you will be in constant need of protein to get stronger.  Then you'll run into the problem of not getting enough protein ever.
