Need help on pre-workout meals .

[VictorBR]

what do you eat PRE-workout for maximum energy for ultra intense workouts ?

I mean , what type of FOOD , the quantities AND how many hours before ? ( like 30 minutes prior to workout , 1 hour prior to workout , 2 hours ... )

Also , what kinda suplement you use for a boost ? I usually use ECA or CLEN , but I am curious on how do you guys do it ? You take before the meals ? After the meals ? You eat and then wait for X minutes and then take it ?

What is your plan meal and suplement- wise to hit the gym ?

Rice and beans are like the perfect thing to me. Since I buy the rice at the pound store they dont sell brown rice but heres what I figure and maybe someone can pitch in some knowledge:

Ok, so we know hi GI carbs spike insulin levels inconveniently

BUT.

WHat if these hi Gi carbs such as white rice are consumed with nice GI carbs like black beans.

In my reasoning, the rice would spike the insulin but the blood glucose level WILL NOT DROP since the beans are still doing their great job right? Perhaps this might even be the most convenient environment since protein is being shuttled to the muscle cells yet there will be no drop and rebound.

Jon Bailey, a well know nutritionalist that works with nationally ranked bodybuilders suggests something like the following:

-Banana or other easily digested fruit
-Raisins or other dried fruit
-Small amount of easily digested protein; poultry or fish

His reasoning is that fruit acts like a complex carb in that it doesnt produce a glucose spike but wont weigh you down like complex carbs will and will energize your workout.

i might have a 64g protien shake and or a can of tuna `15 mins before workout and then more protein 15 mins after the workout thats what i learned here, as for energy if i real tired ill eat a banana or my wetabix. but thats probebly not enough.
