I prefer a mid-late afternoon workout myself, and I have to go in full up. I like to have consumed at least 150-200 grams of protein by the time I hit the gym. Pre-workout I need a meal (and a shake).
I tried a meal before lifting today. I felt really sluggish and almost wanted to throw up. Waited 90mins before lifting also. Probably just stick to shake and a piece of fruit.

When I am trying to grow I eat a TON pre workout...IMHO it is the single most important meal...
Before my workouts which are about 1PM I have eaten
2cups OJ
100 grams protien
1 cup Ezekial cereal w/ wheat bran and almond milk
20 egg whites/10 yolks
1 cup measured dry coaches oats w/ 2 cups mixed berries
1 cup pomegranate juice w/ 1 cup applesauce blended with 50 grams whey
8 oz Fage yogurt w/ 2 tbs almond butter and 2 tbs honey
keep inmind this is all consumed over about a 3 hour period...its not like im stuffing my facewith it in 1/2 hour. but i feel it is necessary to have that type of energy available for my size and the intensity of workouts I put myself through
obviously afterwards I do adequately provide my body with tonsof nutrients to grow as well.
This morning I had 1 whey shake, some greek vanilla yogurt fresh bluberrys, strawberrys, pineapple. Dont know how much it will help, but tasted damn good . I'm in the things tasting good and enjoy what I eat business lol
