I'm pretty new to this site and have mostly been a quiet observer taking it all in. Kinda feel a lot smarter and knowledgeable thanks to all you guys.
ok -for the comment: I just bought some ostrich burgers at the store b/c they were packed with protein and i wanted to try a little something different. That shit was too good to be true. I felt like I was actually eating a whopper from burger king. it was perfectly greasy and everything. 30g protein, 120 c and 3 carbs. I haven't found them everywhere, but you can get them at whole foods. definitely recommend.
for the question: everyone seems to suggest working out on an empty stomach. does this mean a stomach empty of carbohydrates, or a completely empty stomach(wondering if i could get the same benefits and still have a protein shake in the morning)
for the problem:i started this whole (extremely addictive may i add) process in mid january and even got a trainer. it is feb 24 and i haven't noticed anything. no weight drop, no fat loss, zipp. for anyone that likes a good challenge-i beg for a program. perhaps it is too soon to see results, dunno. for my stats: i am a 25 yr old female, 5'3, 127lbs, 24% bf. i work out b/w 3-4x a week. my trainer is kinda weird so maybe he's not helping. we haven't done arms in 2 wks, we stick with leg stuff. sometimes we do things with my shoulders and back. a day in the life of eating with this needy gal looks like this(today for ex) morning: protein shake-3 hrs later- ostrich jerky, 2 hrs later-protein bar(2 carbs 20g pro) 3 hrs later-1 cup nuts 2 hrs later-protein bar(same as above)2 hrs later-2 cups cooked broc w/organic sesame sauce(no carb no protein) and 3 thick slices of turkey(not kind in bag) then worked out then had another protein shake.what should i do?
 
theoretically, protein before working out shouldn't have any effect on muscle glycogen levels. It can, however, be converted to glycogen and therefore defeat the purpose of empty stomach cardio. Some people also have a hard time working out on an empty stomach. I'm kinda sick and twisted... I mix coffee with protein then work out about an hour later... doesn't really have an effect on my blood sugar but it definitely gives me more energy...(mostly just hte caffeine working) The protein gives my stomach something to work on while I starve myself.
