Can I wait to eat?

[shadowlid]

I will be going to the gym right after school I will get there about 12:45am-1:00pm so can I wait til after my cardio workout to have my first meal around 2:30pm? Or will this break down to much muscle? I was thinking of eating 1700 calories a day is this to little or can I go lower? I am looking to get down to at least 10% body fat by December. I know I can do it but I need some help getting there.

Right now I am

6’3”
215 Ibs
About
20% or more body fat so I need to slim down quick.


Thanks,

Shadow

Need to eat sooner than that, bring a protein shake or if nothing else a protein bar(last resort).

Wait I miss-read you are working out from 1-2:30? then going home to eat?

[shadowlid]

Yea i would work out from 1-2:30pm then i would go home to eat.

But my first meal would be at 2:45pm.

If i have a protein shake will this hurt my cardio workout's effect?

your best having the shake after cardio...

[redz]

What time are you eating prior to working out?

[shadowlid]

No pre-work out nutrition if i did this. I would only eat after my work out nothing before this. I am scared that i will mess up the effects of my cardio if i eat before. I have read to do cardio on a 8 hour fast.

Bro, if you are trying to build muscle you need to eat pre and post work out.

do your cardio before school as soon as you wake up on an empty stomach. eat egg whites for breakfast. go to school and workout. go home have a shake then eat shortly after. done deal there u go
