Preworkout meal?

[Cmah9]

I was wondering what is the best time to eat before a workout? also what should I eat before a workout? Carb intake? Protien intake? thanks

I don't think there is a consensus on this issue as I've seen about 100 different opinions on the subject...but I eat an apple and 25g whey 30 mins before my workout.

no, you definitely will not get one answer for this question, so you may as well decide for yourself. I think most people will agree that if you eat something right before your workout it should be a very small meal, otherwise eat at least an hour or 2 before (so your digestive system and muscles won't be fighting over blood supply).

i concur with kim....if you eat a large meal then do it at least and hour if not more before working out....of course if you go with a pro/fat meal you want to make sure that your PWO shake is at least 2 hours after your last meal and 3 is better.

Green apple

Preworkout meals are usually necessary because your body does not have enough time to break down the nutrients before you hit the gym.

i concur with kim

Don't make a habit of it bro...You'll regret it later down the road

Ha J/P Guys...

But yeah for pre-workout meal...I usually have a Efa/whey shake 1.5-2 hrs before I train. I think working out on an empty tank tends to create a more anabolic environment for the muscles. Plus, I like to think I'm killing two birds with one stone burning fat and breaking down muscle while I'm working out.

I have a good meal one hour before a workout, maybe I am just a bit old school, then one hour post I have a mrp.

An hour before is common too bro, so that's all good. The hour to eat pwo though is very "old school".

When bulking I usually have a sweet potato and some tuna 1 hr 15 to 1 1/2 hrs before workout, then pwo shake 5 seconds after workout (how long it takes me to sprint down the stairs and shake the stuff up), then ppwo 1 hr later, usually 1 can tuna and either 1 cup white rice or 1/2 cup oats
