    Eca

    i'm currently experimenting with ECA. the research i've done says to take 30 minutes prior to a meal. if i'm only eating two meals a day should i also take the combo before i workout?

    First off, you should eat at least 6 times a day in smaller portions. Eating only twice a day doesn't equate well with weight training. I usually take ECA about half an hour before I hit the gym and again around mid-day before meal three.

    Yep, eat more frequently. I take ECA in the morning and then again at lunch.

    The six meals should consist of equal amounts of protein and fat at each sitting and the carbs slightly higher in the first 3-4 meals as this is when your body metabolic rate is at its highest.

    Take an ECA before you train or cardio

    Liztic, I would not recommend you taking ECA before bed, probably not at least 5 hours before you go to bed. I have a good bulking diet and I sent it to Tobey and he approves. If you want it, send me a pm and I'll get it to you bro. If you are wanting a cutting diet, specify that so I can change the ratio's and send me your height/weight. Peace
