pre workout

[danimal79]

a bagel with peanut butter DOES have protein. 10 or 15 grams depending on how much pb is used. add a glass of low-fat milk and that's not a horrible pre-workout meal. i usually eat chicken with brown rice and broccoli. or sometimes i'll go with a protein shake w/ steel-cut oats and a banana. i personally feel that it's good to have both slow/fast acting carbs pre and post-workout.

just a quick question while were on the topic if you have a protein and carb shak 30 mins before a workout when would you eat before workout ?

ps. dont mean to steal the thread

but the peanut butter isnt a complete protein. so its almost worthless if used before a workout. only good thing i can see is the high fat would slow down your release of the simple carbs from the bagel
