So it's not as fast burning as you think, based on how sweet it tastes. here is what I would do in this situation. Wake up, and two scoops of quality protein powder (all the farts filtered out) and 1/2 cup oats with 2 cups of milk. Down the hatch. This will give you the following macros: <img src="http://forums.steroid.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=151581"/> this gives you 700 calories, with 73 grams of protein and 68 grams of slow burning carbs. Raw oats has a GV of something like 50. then two more bananas as suggested above. all in, this would give you 900 calories, 75 grams of protein and 122 grams of carbs. This may get you through the workout without losing steam <img src="http://forums.steroid.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=151582"/>
Thanks TR i like the sound of this, today was my 2nd day of this fasted training and your right my intensity did drop! I felt i lost a rep or 2 on my sets towards the end especially during the dropsets!
