Coffee first thing in the Morning! Am I hindering my gains?

it is M-Y opinion

that high readily absorbed protien and high fat
are essential in the first meal upon rising



ohhh........and coffee
cant do without that

I agree with tenny.
Caffeine is a moderate inhibitor of mTOR. But, insulin is a much greater stimulator to mTOR than Caffeine inhibits. IMO, its not an issue if you have a pre-workout protein/efa or protein/high GI carb supplement. I do 1 scoop cold-filtered whey isolate + 10g MCT oil for both pre & intra-workout. Coffee is my morning potion of motion...

Also, coffee can protect the liver from liver damage from alcohol and hepa C. This was not found to be due to caffeine, and black/green tea doesn't have the same effect.
