What is your pre workout meal and when do you consume it?
I get off work then have my first and pre workout meal. Usually egg whites omlette with mushrooms then sliced apples and peaches with fruit. About 80g protein 100 g carbs. Its usually 90 minutes before I train then I'll be in the gym 1.5 hour then drive 30 minutes home and make my next meal. This is why I opt for something slow digesting and about 700 calories because I don't have my post workout meal until 4 hours later.
I know some people say a pre workout meal should be smaller and easy digesting because you don't want your body digesting it while training. I think John Meadows said 30g pro 40g carbs in a video I saw . I'm guessing however they are hitting the gym immediately after eating?
I know some people say no fat, some people say you should get some efa. Some say it makes no difference eat what you enjoy.
Just wondering what everyone here has pre and why. Even when I ran humalin r, I would have a similar meal. Sometimes instead of fruit it was potatoes or hash browns but never liquid or kids cereal, just made sure I was covered at 10g carb per iu and was fine, smarties in my gym bad if needed but never did
