i have a quick question. I'm about to go to the gym to work out but I haven't had anything to eat today. It's 11:40am, I woke up at 8:30am, took a shower, then went straight to work. I didnt' have time to grab breakfast. And I want to go work out during my lunch break, at the gym at work. But since I haven't had anything to eat, should I snack on something right before? Or is it bad to eat right before a workout.
I know I should eat a full healthy lunch after the workout to put protein into my system. Just don't know what to eat (if anything) before the workout. |

I couldn't imagine working out with food in my stomach. That's me personally, I mean some people would say a light carb'd snack might work, I think ultimately it's all preference. Your body should be able to sustain a workout as long as you stay fully hydrated. I would imagine a high protein meal after the work out would be much more rewarding than snacking early and eating light after.
Remember - WATER IS A MUST! |

I refuse to workout if I havent had a meal that day. No energy...just feels weak and useless.
at the least its some prunes and an egg. |

| just got back from the gym. On the way back to work, I stopped by the fruit stand and got myself a shake. I told the guy to put protein and creatine in it too ... and it was the first time I ever consumed such 'supplements' after a workout. The shake was banana, beet, carrot, and orange. DAAAAAMN it was ing good!!! I don't know if it was the creatine/protein or the actual fruit, but wow that shake was fukin amazing. I think I'm gonna get into supplements now :nervous: |

you're setting him up to either have his hopes destroyed or his wallet empty! lol
once you start learning to make them on your own and you've been drinking them for a while, haha, you'll learn how TY they taste! good luck man, i've been drinking protein for about 1.5yrs now and believe me when i say this, there comes a point when it's just disgusting HAHAHA (ie: blue at the bottom of your shake! wtf is that lol) |
