energy before martial arts
I do cardio 6 days a week, weight lift 4 days a week, but I still manage to get worn out more when I go to my martial arts classes. My normal diet is:
Meal 1 (breakfast) - 4-6 egg whites
Meal 2 (1.5-2 hours later) - Protein shake, or protein bar
Meal 3 (lunch) - Lean meat, 1 cup brown rice
Meal 4 (1.5-2 hours later) - Meal Replacement Shake, or meal replacement bar
Meal 5 (Post workout) - Protein shake (40-60g), 50g Dextrose, 50g Maltodextrin
Meal 6 (1.5-2 hours later) - Lean meat
On the days I have martial arts, it takes place after meal 4(about 2-3 hours after).. Should I replace that meal on those days with a high carb meal, or should I just drink an energy drink or something 30-45 min before I go?
