When I workout in the mornings i'll usually eat the following:
BREAKFAST (11:00 AM) – 6 OZ. LEAN GROUND BEEF [225 Calories/36 grams Protein/0 grams Carbs/7 grams Fat]
3 FARM FRESH EGGS [210 Calories/21 grams Protein/0 grams Carbs/9 grams Fat]
3 FARM FRESS EGG WHITES [45 Calories/12 grams Protein/0 grams Carbs/0 grams Fat]
1 CUP OF RAW MILK [100 Calories/9 grams Protein/12 grams Carbs/2 grams Fat]
8 OZ. OF GRAPEFRUIT JUICE [90 Calories/1 grams Protein/23 grams Carbs/0 grams Fat]
[VITAMINS: MULTI-VITAMIN; 3 CLA (800mg) TABLETS, 4 OMEGA-3 (1,000mg), & ZINC (50mg)]
Totals: (670 Calories/79 grams Protein/17 grams Carbs/16 grams Fat)
After an hour or so I'll start doing my weight training followed by a PWO shake. My question is when I do weights when I wake up, I feel energetic, full of energy the rest of the day. However, when I do fasted cardio on BCAA's, ill wait an hour (so carbs don't blunt the gh response) then eat breakfast, but I feel sluggish the rest of the day until maybe around night. Why is that if I do cardio instead of weights in the morning? The only reason to do fasted cardio in the morning is to shed fat, but was also thinking of sticking to weights in the morning by only eating the 6 oz. lean ground beef, then wait an hour to digest then head to the gym with a pre-workout shake. This is similar to being fasted since the ground beef has no carbs and i'll burn the preworkout shake when I warmup.
Thoughts anyone?
