Meal Timing Question

[CrystalChick]

Hi Straw,

I usually avarage 6-7 hours per night sleep.
I take half of a Shake soooo it's arounnnd 35grams carbs.
I can't see myself eating then going to the gym.
I would rather get in and get out or excercise at 4am or something.
Any suggestions?

How many carbs are you consuming per day? How many prior to going to gym? Is that shake with milk or water? And how much protein is in it? Sorry for all the q's. Really am trying to be of some help.

May not be the total number of calories that is the problem. May be the source. Use to down a shake prior to training. Swapped it for real food and have had more success. Shakes are convenient, same with bars. But if you are able to eat something more "real" prior to gym time, you might have more energy.

That isn't a whole lot of sleep you're getting. Sorta sounds a lot like me. Something to do with my bf sounding like a damn industrial size drill. I am suffering from lack of right now, hope this is coherent. If not, just disregard and I will try again later.

I hope you are vastly different than moi, but when I get less than 8 hours of sleep, work 8 hours, have relatively low carb consumption during the day, my workouts really suffer.

Your dinner looks fine. I am of course assuming you cook lean, your salad isn't swimming in ranch and your portion isn't alaska size.

Try adjusting your eating timeline so that you don't have a 5 hour gap in your schedule. I have a tendency to eat more than I should at dinner, if the last time I ate was 5 hours before. Portion size way too large right before sleeping. Gotta keep up the metabolism. Not gonna happen with 5 hour gaps. As I discovered with my nice plateau a few weeks ago.

Hey Staw, I have half of the shake with water soooo Im having 20 grams of carbs 20grams protein b4, not 35grams.
The calorie content is 180calories.
Dinner is Olive oil sprayed on salad with vinegar and maybe 2oz cottage cheese tossed in so it's not a high calorie salad it's about 2 cups lettuce.
What about a good Fat Burner non-ephedrine?

Thanks Again

I wouldn't do one before bed...you'd be up all night making homemade lasagna and organizing shit like spatts! Your meal looks pretty good though. I am in the same boat with you guys schedule wise and I've significantly cut down the carbs in my last meal (especially because I eat so late) and I've dropped a few pounds already. Doing this and tracking my calories has helped.

Omelettes (or in my case, scrambles ) are a great nighttime meal for me...I use one whole egg, add one or two additional egg whites, couple ounces of chicken, fat-free cheese, mushrooms, onions, maybe some spinach and lots of salsa and hot sauce for a hot mouth massage! Just skip the toast, and you're good to go!

Chicken and broccoli is another easy, frequent pm meal for me. I like to prepare a lot of my meals ahead of time and in bulk. Anything to make it less labor intensive!

no, no, you missed the point baby, it was non-ephedrine (non stimulant) fat burner, basically a lipotropic (fat mobilizer) not a thermogenic(stimulant type).

you would be fine with a non-stim before bed. pyruvate is a good choice, some l-carnitine etc.

What about some reliable brand name's that work without ephedrine. I loved Adipo but that's gone
