EAT EAT EAT!! When in doubt...EAT!!!!

I know that TO EAT is your favorite verb.
Am I wrong?

I dont think so...

 

[spatts]

Use arguments? How 'bout common sense. Weightlifting uses glycogen. No food (carbs) = no glycogen.

Let your car run out of gas, then try to drive it.









..and yes, you're wrong. "TO EAT" in an infinitive.

I think it is always better to eat before workout, even if you are cutting.
Like Spatts said lifting uses glycogen.
From my experience you burn out more quickly if you don't eat before workout, you cannot lift as heavy.
I think the best pre workout meal would have some carbs and protein (the reason to eat protein as to do with the muscle breakdown that occur during weight lifting, i cannot explain this so well).
Usually i have some oatmeal and Whey protein before workout. (around 1 1/2 hours before). i mix a spoon of flax seed oil or some fish oil caps with it.

It couldn't have been said better.... Just kinda make sure not to over stuff yourself prior though... It might wanna come back up on ya..lol... Can't be wasting protein and calories now... Now go EAT!!!!

If you eat and you feel bloated as i do before training, I generally drink a carbo force or at least drink a high carb supplement for the training time and slam down a protein drink right after or a xxl for the big carbs and calories...I am all for eating, but i lose range of motion, burp and feel bloated, and that is just eating a cup of brown rice and half a chicken breast 30 minutes before when i used to eat...remember, you can supplement anything you need for traing except sleep...dont get me wrong, you do have to eat to grow, but you do not have to eat before you train....

I eat breakfast and then train 2.5 hours later. I don't feel bloated and am full of energy.

 

[gimp]

I have some nausea when training, so, I try not to eat 2-3 hours prior to training. Although I will have 2 scoops of a meal replacement with some water prior to training to keep my energy up.

Always try to lift on an empty stomach. B/c after lifting comes cardio, and I want the fat loss. I eat after my workout.

I used to work so intensely every single day that eating before my workouts (weights & plyometrics/sport drills) would mean certain throwing up. I need to start doing that shit again.
