Meal or shake before workout ?

I am a bit confused (as a few of you have probably figured out by now, this is NO surprise).....This thread says to eat before working out but I read that working out in the morning BEFORE eating is the best. Is it a matter of whether you want to add mass or lose BF?

:) WORKOUT means WEIGHTS! In the morning, don't eat before 'cardio'. DO eat before weights.

How much time do you all have between this workout & meal? I personally usually have some fat & carbs within 60 min of the workout. Will have had a balanced complex carb/veggie/protein meal an hour or 2 before that. Shake is post WO.

Whohoo, my thread has been bumped !!;)

I usually get up and eat and then go straight to the gym. So I guess it's about 60 minutes for me to. I've read somewhere that you need to wait about 1.5 hours for the food to get in to your system, but I feel fine when lifting after 60 minutes of eating some oatmeal. My favorite in the morning would be a handful of peanuts...:p

By the way !! You americans are so spoiled with good food to cheat with !!! You have sugar free this and fat free that so I don't ever want to hear any of you complain about diet again !!!
I can't even find natural peanut butter here, and need to go to Sweden to shop some low fat cottage cheese !!!:rolleyes:
OK, my rant for today...;) ;)

Actually that would depend on the Glycemic Index of the food, I believe. The GI is a measure of how quickly the food will cause a rise in your blood sugar. Hence some foods being called, "Quick" - like sugar & some fruits.

You americans are so spoiled with good food
oh, no no no no, you don't get to be the one to complain here! :) We Americans are the fattest on the planet. Those of us on Elite who are trying to eat 'clean' & be exceedingly fit are such a tiny minority. We must deal with friends, family, & co-workers often taunting us with "good" (junk) food, and/or teasing us/ treating us like freaks for our habits. OMG, it is SOO tiresome! I started getting nasty about it when I kept getting comments when they would buy pizza for my department or the company, & I would have my tuna & broccoli. I've been working here 1.5 years, you think you all would freakin be used to it right now! You'd think I sat at the lunch table naked, the big deal they make of what I eat!!

:FRlol: Yes, that's the truth. The average American thinks eating healthy food is some kind of mental disorder.

This "good food" is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Other than drinking skim milk, I never eat sugar free anything. All those strange chemicals. I'm convinced they put something in there to make you eat the whole box. :) Just give me the real thing - it tastes better, it's more satisfying, and I eat less.
 
I tried eating before my workout and i felt all bloated, even an hour before.

Thing is some days i do both... Weight-cardio

Still good to eat before if you do weights first then cardio?
Oatmeal is yummy! Do you guys use regular oatmeal? or actual "oats" and mix with egg whites? =then protein powder?


Good Post! :busy:

Formally Confused
 
Here here! :mix: Same in my department, they look at me like i NEED to eat it, and Almost give me dirty looks for not wanting to eat the "pizza" or cookies that someone made.


They say "don't you have to go to the gym?"
