Everywhere I turn I keep hearing about how good it is to eat some fig newtons right after the workout for their supposedly providing you with the essential things you need.I looked at the nutrition facts, though and it does not look that impressive for fig newtons on there, hardly any protein, not many vitamins, just a good amount of carbs, that's about it.So what is their "magic power?"

When I was in top shape I ate anything and everything, but... when you lay off just don't continue the same habits that you are used to. I sometimes ate 2 big steaks with all of the condiments every day, bacon, eggs and home fries for breakfast some times with a steak. Dinner roast of beef or whatever lots of mashed potatoes, gravy my greens - green peas. When I took my 3 month lay off to rebuild I would go from 230 lbs to 300 plus. Then it all started again swim it off.
My favorite sandwich while training was fried blood pudding, bacon and egg, dipped the bread in bacon fat, with ketchup and HP sauce.
