peri workout nutrition

[BlueShocker]

Hello guys

How much emphasis do you guys place on periworkout nutrition?

I do a hefty pre meal of carbs and an intra with carbs and eaas.

Sometimes post workout (with an hour of cardio post currently), I’ll wait a bit to eat as I like to relax for a bit. Big deal? Or nothing to worry about.

Now, with insulin in the mix the past 3 weeks, I def add in the maltodexrin/whey/EAA shake

You could get some protein with your pre workout meal & skip the intra altogether

But yeah not a big deal overall

I like having a solid intra shake consisting of carbs, eaas, bcaas, and electrolytes. It’s just became part of my routine now. Is it more mental than anything? Maybe, but that’s ok. I can’t sip on just water while training anymore.

Everyone varies. For myself, my sessions are terrible if I have food in my stomach. So if I train in am, usually just a banana pre. Then some muscle gummies during, then bcaa/eaa creatine and magnesium at the end. If I train afternoon/evening, the meals throughout the day are very light. Mostly protein, lil fat, lil carb. Then once I get in the gym, after first couple sets, I drink a lil intra carb or have 15-20gm sugar from muscle gummies(chewy candy) With the bcaa/eaa, creatine and magnesium towards end of training. It works for me. Very full during training, and I have max energy. If I eat to much, I’m sluggish and feel less energy, because my body is using energy and blood to break down what’s sitting in my gut.
