Eat Protein Only ?

i have seen numerous friends and mates all around the world
and all they have been doing is cut down on their carbs and eat more protein right after a workout . To be truthful , i use to do this a lot too , however it will be not very good if you are doing lots of cardio in a week , cause you will loose your mass and loose muscles in other words
Carbohydrate is a very important element after your workout, because it stimulates and helps with muscle growth. It is true , that you cannot have and eat whatever you like if your working out . But cutting back on good carbohydrate and protein is going to cause you lost in mass certainly. Most people dont neglect protein , but carbohydrate is always neglected to be more lean. That is simply wrong , cause muscles cant grow without carbohydrate.
The best post workout meal after a workout is : Protein and good carbohydrates
Here is a few idea of a pre-workout meal :
“Anything good, a teaspoon, tablespoon of peanut butter on whole grain bread,” is an option, she says.
“Nothing heavy before they work out,” she says is something people need to remember. Just a small serving of protein with carbs will provide enough fuel for muscles.( that means dont have 2 plates of rice and full plate of sides! )
Kuykendall recommends eating within a couple hours of working out. If dinner will be soon after a work out, a snack will not be needed...
eating somewhat like a plate of rice and some good light calorie dishes should work for a muscle achiever like you and me , and eat again after a workout , maybe a tuna sandwhich or 2 and MILK . it helps , protein shakes are okay for some , not for everyone . Can make you fat you know :)

AND FOR POST WORKOUT meals :
eat good protein like tuna , egg white , lean chicken or turkey and good carbs like rice and whole wheat bread to give that energy for your muscle to rebuild ! .

So my big advice is dont cut on carbs , it will just make you stay too lean
which is good for most
but not really what big gainers want ! .. so think about IT ...

Example of Bad Carbohydrate :
Bread and pasta made with any refined flour,
Cakes, cookies and other sweet bakery products,
Processed refined grains, such as glutinous rice ,
Most pudding, custards and other sweets,
Fruit drinks, fruit juices, sodas,
Jelly, jams and all candy.
Example of good protein :
turkey or chicken breast
Nuts
Fish
Beans
Soy protein
egg whites
whey protein

Anyways , a good tuna sanwhich if your on a hurry and milk is excellent !
and if you have time have a piece of whole wheat and baked beans if your into western tast e
or rice with some good veges and lean meats . for asian tatse , its good too ! .
,most diest tell us to quite rice and stuff , but were asians , just eat , but workout hard
And i mean get those muscle working to eat BIG ! , but not too much lah:)
good luck
