[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1962018, member: 365308"] I think the weight gain protocol would be to eat 1-2 hours prior to the exercise (taper the bolus you take) with 2 portions each of carbs (rice, pasta, potatoes) and protein rich foods. A portion would be about a palm size. During exercise perhaps you can have a protein drink on hand with additional carbs e.g. whey protein shake. They are a useful convenience since you can't eat an egg sandwich halfway through the boxing session a . Eat again 1-2 hours after activity. Snacks when [U]not [/U]in the middle of exercise could be nut butter on a banana or oat cake, omelette,, egg or chicken sandwiches, nuts and raisins (any combo of carbs and protein that is made from scratch is best but even a burger will do the job!) You will need to keep a close eye on your bgs though and not just because of the risk of hypos. Go too high will encourage you to pee out some of the extra glucose you are eating. The additional insulin you require to deal with extra snacks should also help you store and use that energy efficiently i.e. to build muscle. [/QUOTE]
