Pre Workout Meal Hampering Training

    Through trial and error I have recently discovered that my training (lifting/core/calisthenics/Interval cardio) is better when I'm operating on an empty-ish stomach. So now I dont eat for 3-4 hours before the session, and I'm happy with my performance.

    The only issue i have is that I'm currently trying to put on a bit of mass, and not eating anything for 5-6 hours is hampering my ability to take in sufficient calories on training days, as I'm squeezing it into a smaller time frame.

    When i started trying to build a bit of weight, I'd have 120g chicken and 100g wholegrain rice 2 hours before hand but then find myself sloppy and sluggish during training. Whey protein before training repeats on me also, so I've knocked that on the head. I'd now normally have some fruit or a slice of wholegrain toast an hour before training and that seems to leave me at my best. Use High5 4:1 during training. PWO 40g protein, 60g Maltodextrin, 5g Creapure, 5g BCAA, 5g Glutamine

    Mass building is still going well luckily enough

    Has anyone else suffered anything similar?? Does anyone have any particular pre workout suggestions that work for them??

    (MODS - you may decide to move this to Nutrition??)
