Steak as a pre workout meal?
Right now I am eating steak about 30-45 min before I lift. Is this a good pre lifting meal?

well, its good protein... but i don't think it would be that great... can't you only take in roughly 8 grams of meat protien per hour? i think it takes too long to digest the protien... shake is probably better

It digests pretty slowly. 30-40 mins before working out probably wouldn't be a good idea. You might want to try eating earlier. I know if I was eating that close to my workout I'd be puking pretty quick.

Shoulda saved it for PPWO. Dont forget the shake w/ dex PWO.

Eat something easier to digest. Your body will spend all of its energy trying to digest that clump of meat in your stomache while you work out. Some people might feel sluggish and might not get as good a pump because some blood flow is diverted to the digestive system.
NOT a good choice for PRE workout. Try fruit or something 30 minutes prior to workout.

I was thinking that if I eat a steak pre workout, by the time my workout is over and I'm done taking my PWO shake and eating my PPWO meal, the protein from the steak a couple hours earlier will be hitting my system and that will benefit me seeing I need protein to feed my muscles.

A shake, like Bermich said is a good pre-workout meal.

steak is essentially a slow digesting protein/fat combo kinda meal..even the leanest cuts have some fat in them...it is ideal to eat as part of breakfast or PPWO meal or in a meal before sleep for this reason but i think eating it pre and post workout, like the other bros said, will not give a timely protein supply..plus adding quick carbs to a meal with already some fat in it is a cutting no no...

I already said fruit such as an orange or maybe even an energy drink.
I dont know why you are DETERMINED to eat before working out.
Trust me, you can go two hours without eating that steak of yours.

An hour before I lift, I will have a protein shake, 1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon and 1 apple.
How's that. Days I don't lift, I can eat the steak.Last edited by Aggression; 08-16-2004 at 03:10 PM.

Personally i'd've ingested the steak like 1 and 1/2 hrs before
If it were tuna or chicken, i'd get away with 30 minutes before training
my $0.02

Well how did my idea sound.
An hour before I lift, I will have a protein shake, 1/2 cup of oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon and 1 apple.
Days I don't lift, I will eat the steak during that timeslot.Last edited by Aggression; 08-16-2004 at 03:09 PM.

I also agree that it all depends on you specifically, i also have known guys that can go into the gym with a full stomach of oats and egg whites etc..and lift like a mad man.
I on the other hand cannot, i usually do not eat anything or i have some 100 % rolled oats.
