Morning workout... diet?
Ok i have done lots of research about diet and alot of experts on these forums posting sample diets show around 3-4 meals before their workout. Example:
Meal 1: Pro/Carb
8 Egg Whites, 1 Scoop Of Whey Protein, 1 cup oatmeal
50g protein / 54g carbs / 5g fat
Meal 2: Pro/Fat
Lean Ground Beef, ¼ cup swiss cheese, green veggies
55g protein / 2g carbs / 20g fat
Meal 3: Pro/Carb
Chicken Breast, 1 and a half cup Brown Rice
55g protein / 64g carbs / 3g Fat
Meal 4: Pro/Fat
2 Cans of Tuna, 1 Tbsp Full Fat Mayonnaise, Veggies
60g protein / 2g carbs / 13g Fat
Workout
Meal 5: PWO Nutrition
2 Scoops Whey Protein / 80g of Dextrose
40g protein / 80g carbs / 0g fat
Meal 6: PPWO
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, ½ cup Brown Rice (Measured Uncooked)
50g protein / 70g carbs / 3g fat
Meal 7: Pro/Fat
Lean Protein of your choice, 2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
50g protein / 5g carbs / 18g fat
Meal 8: Before Bed
3 Scoops of Whey Protein, 1.5 Tbsp. Flax Seed Oil
60g protein / 3g carbs / 21g Fat
That turns into approximately 420 grams protein, 250 grams Carbs, and 83 grams of fat. This is roughly 3500 calories
Ok yes i like this diet but i tend to workout in the morning and only get 1 meal or so in before i workout. Ill try to eat some eggs and maybe a baked potatoe and right before i leave 3 scoops of whey protein.
My question is... how could i change this diet to get maximum benefit for lifting in the morning? I cant eat all my carbs before i workout.. and i dont wanna eat them all during the day. I will workout and eat all day long but how should i eat?

you're taking it way too literally. it doesn't matter so much if you get all the nutrients in before you lift, just that you have something in your stomach (small albeit) and eat consistently throughout the day. why would you not eat carbs during the day? unless you lift then sleep the entire day you still need carbs and calories.

it's more of a total daily macro spread. doesn't matter if it's before or after. just eat before and then start your meal cycling through your day.

ok sounds good. ive just been told by some friends that have been lifting for along time its better to get most of your carbs in during the morning before you workout. i realize you need this for energy but over night fast are ok? i guess im doing fine with my diet then
