porridge, mixed with 1 scoop of protien and honey and bannana slices on top, cant go wrong with that.

if you're cutting then that's not the optimum thing to have ironhorse.
I've recently added L-Tyrosine to my pre workout shake btw. I haven't noticed anything amazing yet but maybe i'll up the dosage.

soda
I typically eat two chicken breasts at 11:30 and then drink a soda at the gym. It has worked well and I havnt had any problems with cramping or such. However, I have been wondering if there were any alternatives that might be better. I am bulking so calories are not an issue. Even so, sometimes all I have is diet soda and that seems to work just as well in case you are cutting. I think the sugar is the key rather than the caffene. I am in the school of thought that eating right before the gym detracts from your overall workout due to the number of tasks your body is trying to undertake simultaneously. So, does anyone have any ideas to help get a quick sugar burst without having to digest a lot of food?

Usually have a cup of java in the pm before I train.....but, 1/2 cup of oats with a scoop of protein makes me tired around 3pm..might just be the 3 o'clock push from being in the office all day...my carbs are very low to moderate and rarely have any high gi carbs (post only)......u guys supplement with ala all year? bulking and cutting?
