Kai Green never liked eating immediately before training, he felt the blood in his stomach digesting food was wasted when it could be in his muscles lol

I don't ever really set out to specifically eat something before they gym I just usually go in the mourning after breakfast or after lunch..If I'm hungry before I'd have some fruit.

Limousine Fred

Try to go in the morning as early as possible so something like peanut butter on wholegrain, some fruit and Jack3d,iif it's later just a tuna, spinach, cheese and tomato sandwich.

Pint of milk and maybe some eggs. I go to the gym on my lunch break, so it's a 30 minute workout, max. That means hitting it pretty intensely if i want anything out of the workout. I need some fuel, but a with a full belly 'twould be unpossible.

Afterwards, another pint of milk, a protein shake, and well, lunch of course.

Mellor

1pm Tuna, mushrooms, capsicum(peppers) a few hours before
3pm Nuts
5pm Protein shake
6.30pm gym

muffinn

Nothing for 16h and 10g of BCAA just right before the training.

Intermittent Fasting and Leangains FTW!

mrpink6789

Can of Tuna, some hazlenuts and a dash of creatine about an hour beforehand.

Mauricmo

I train in the morning for the most part, so: tin of tuna, scrambled eggs, spinach and mug of black coffee.

SuprSi

I'm also a morning trainer so don't eat anything other than 3 Weetabix.

littlemsfickle

Is eating a lot of protein so soon before training beneficial? Is it not afterwards that eating protein is important? Surely something like eggs/chicken will just sit in your stomach?

how's your experimentation goin with sugar?do you find you crash post workout at all?

G86

Monster Lo Carb FTW:D

If I'm hungry I have something small like a banana beforehand, but I don't really eat much before training, I'd only feel sick in the session. I have lunch at 1, some nuts or oatcakes around 4 and then training at 6/7.

No sugar crash at all, possibly I fixed my metabolism somewhat when I lost the weight. I just have so much more energy, spontaneously doing chinups at home which almost never happened before

faceman

Usually a banana and yoghurt or maybe porridge. assuming I havent had a meal beforehand. I prefer to have eaten less but ensure I have the right food to fuel me

deadlybuzzman

Just had a coffee and 10 slices of white bread toast-roll on the 6 pack!! :rolleyes:
ill have a 2 1/2 scoop shake in a min too

DonkyDonk

I train in the mornings immediately after breakfast: 4 eggs, a bowl of porridge and maybe a shake. Then another shake immediately after training. Lovely

Far too much milk there IMO.

don't think it was specifically for that post...he was just being a darsh in general

King of Kings

I eat at regular times and don't account for training in my mealtimes. As in I don't eat just cos training is coming up.
I eat at 7.30/13:30/18:30/22:30 - regardless of when i train

Just an FYI, but it is against the forum chater and pretty much frowned upon on all forums on boards.ie to question a Moderator decision on a thread.

Most moderators would I think be happy to answer your question, but IMO and as per the gereral posting guidlines and forum charter it should be asked via PM and not on a thread. On some forums this could earn you an infraction/ban also.
