Hi all,

Male, 36, 227lbs, 2,220kcals a day, 220C/200P/60F, currently on Week 4.3 of the Beginner template.

My current pre and post workout meals are:

Pre - 200ml milk, 50g oats, 25g whey about 60-90 mins before lifting  
Post - 200ml milk, 40g lucky charms cereal, 25g whey about 30 mins after lifting

My other meals are even split of remaining macros, including several servings of fruit/veg, with protein spaced 3-5 hours apart.

Would you suggest any changes to either the content or timing of the pre or post workout meals?
