How bad of a Pre-Workout meal is this?

[Blitz777]

Would you say a CLIF Bar, and 25g of whey isolate is a poor pre-workout meal?
The CLIF Bar contains:
3g Fat
.5g Sat. Fat
45g Carbs (9g fiber, 21g Sugar, 19g other carbs)
10g Protein

I ask because they are easy to eat, taste good, and deliver good energy. The sugar is not processed, in this case coming mainly from apricots. On a scale of 1 - 10, how would you rate 25g Whey Isolate and the above-mentioned CLIF bar as a pre-workout meal?

sounds pretty good. I dunno bout all the sugars tho...even tho it comes from apricots it still may spike ur insulin and thats not good before workout.

If all the sugar is actually from apricots than you should be ok, bc apricots are Low GI, but just make sure that there arent other sugars in the ingredients list.

Id stick with real food, in any of those bars they always stick soo much shit in them.
Id love to eat a bar pre and maybe post but there is soo much shit in them,i just eat whole foods.

Interesting if all the sugar is from apricots, I don't trust them though.
