Morning Food

**LawMan018** · 08-11-2007, 04:46 PM

Okay, well my buddy and I are about to start school (if I'm accepted I'm gunna join Air Force after first semester). Anyways, he wants to be my gym partner but work out in the mornings before class. Now, I never have worked out in the morning and was wondering what's something to snack on when I wake up, so that 45 minutes to an hour later I can have energy for the gym? I just want something little to snack on that'll give me energy, as well as my NO-Shotgun... I plan on having my shake and "main" breakfast" after the workout...

they only answer certain questions lol. i would say some fast acting carbs with some protein. i remember when we had morning workouts in college i would have a big bowl of mix fruit and 30-50grms of whey protein and would take some kind of sports drink with me.

lawman, go w/ Godkilla.

you need carbs and protein. i would take down a cup of oats 12 egg whites and an apple. the apple will elevate your blood sugar, the oats are a good long-term carb source for the weight training and the protein is there to help with muscle cell stimulation and repair. your body will begin digesting your meal about 6 minutes after you eat it. so eat up.

a good rule of thumb about eating a pre-workout meal is, you should eat as much as you can, as close to your workout as possible without feeling sick during the workout.

because i am a pro athlete and know what i eat before our intense strength and speed workouts, shit i have breakfast at 830am if i have a 10am workout and my breakfast usually include 2ser oats, 1 banana, 50grm of whey then i will take 2ser of accelerade sports drink to the workout which have carbs, bcaa. the key is to eat just enough to get through the workout and not more.

having whey b4 a workout is not an option for me really. i aint gonna have whey for breakfast/pre workout because after i workout i am gonn ahave whey for my pwo shake. so unless i wanna be whey man, i eat a meal b4 i workout. meal, workout, pwo shake, pwo meal. otherwise, i aint even going to the gym

if you only have 45 mins before your workout i would eat some fruit..........
i would have some blended oats with some whey..and drink that down and eat some fruit...........

Alright thanks for your replies guys, and agruments, and name calling...

i thnk it comes down to dedication really. if your dedicated youll make time to cook your meals and eat them. everybody has all the time in the world to inject themselves with steroids and do curls in the squats rack, but waking up in the morning with sufficient time to eat a proper breakfast/pre workout meal is just to much i guess
