What's a good pre workout meal?

[Tommy Gunn]

Can anyone recommend a good preworkout meal?

Right now I'm taking either one of these an hour before I workout:

Muscle Milk n' oats oatmeal
or
1 3-4 oz chiicken breast and a sweet potato

2 hours before my workouts I either just have a protein/flax shake or I eat 50 grams of lentils along with some tuna or other lean meat/fish.

[IronFreakX]

lentils or soybeans/chicken 2 hours b4 workout

or i put them in the blender....and go after 1-1.5 hours...

[smokethedays]

i eat 1 cup raw oats with 40 g whey (mixed with water) and 5 raw egg whites.

All depends either whey and flax or a whey shake along with a bagel.

You mean jack off in a box. I used to eat their "big cheeseburgers" when I was bulking. For .99 thats a big mother****er.

lol almost got me worried there for a moment.

Personally, I make sure my last meal before lifting is between 2-3 hrs before. I have much better workouts on an empty stomach b/c I don't feel sluggish from having food in my stomach. Shakes a lot of times make me feel bloated before a workout, so I usually have a Pro/Fat meal 2-3 hrs. beforehand, and PWO shake in the car on the way home.

[dr.shred]

I usually have a protein bar which I know are s*it, but it sometimes happens that the last meal I ate was 2-3hrs before after training clients so I usually opt for a quick fix.

Hey SwoleCat, what do you eat for a pre workout meal?

[unoigo]

2 hours prior to workout I have a piece of fruit (apple, banana) and a cup of cottage cheese.

[SwoleCat]

Usually cream of wheat and whey protein isolate mixed with water.
