Pre-Workout Meal

[waregle54]

What is a good recommendation for a good pre-workout meal? I mainly stick with a protein source and a low-glycemic carb. Just want to know some other opinions. Thanks.

Personally i usually have chicken and rice or whey protein isolate mixed with a little bit of Waxy Maize.....just depends on my mood.

studies are published almost monthly that say pretty much the same thing:

BCAA 5 - 10 grams
some complex carbs
glutamine 5- 10 grams
whey protein 10 - 20 grams

this will help keep you anabolic, minimize cortisol response during excercize

i like a pro/fat meal before i train. Beef and Peanut Butter do the trick... about an hour and a half before i train.

Protein/fat for me......I like to have olive oil, with some whey isolate.... 90-120 minutes before working out...

I like to take in a normal meal (i.e. 30-40 grams of protein, 60 grams of complex carbs) and just add 30 grams of sugar (off season only, its normally a much smaller amount) an hour and a half before my workout. Then take a good pre-workout supp. Always works wonders for me. But if you don't have a pre-workout supp (and your in a bulk cycle and don't mind the sugar) drinking a coke before your workout will amaze you as to how well it works.

ok what if?

any suggestion on what I should consume before I go to the gym if I go right out of bed in the morning. Obviously I dont want to be digesting food while in the gym but I also worry that if I dont get something in me I will breakdown muscle for fuel.

What do you guys think?

handfull of peanuts/mixed nuts, hand full of raisins, and a coke

Protein shake w/3 whole eggs, lg. banana, 1/4 cup almonds, glass of grape or orange juice....... This gets me going before a morning workout. Eggs and almonds for a natural test boost, banana puts carbs in the liver so you don't burn/waste the protein, juice for natural sugar burst. All digests pretty fast so you can hit the gym fast and hard. 80-85g of protein to start your day.

I eat a regular meal. If I don't have much time to eat than I'll throw down a couple PB & J sandwhiches and then eat a hearty meal right after.

If your nutrition plan is good you dont need to worry about any fancy pre workout meals as you should be eating every 2-3 hours anyway. But if I had to chose what i think is best...tuna milkshake, if you can keep them down
