What is the goal of the meal? What is your short term goal?

Are you hungry during workouts? Do you need to maintain workout intensity? Are you dieting to lose fat? Are you dieting to gain skeletal muscle?

I would opt for a whey/casein mix in water preworkout, with a small apple. 10-15g of whey intraworkout with some simple carbs. I like to use smarties, instead of liquid. Eat the smarties as needed to keep bg slightly elevated and just enough to maintain training intensity and keep hunger at bay.

I used smarties postworkout awhile back but never during. my workouts are kind of long on occasion. Ill give that a try tomorrow.

Cut the pre-workout carbs in half, and utilize them during the workout - you won't crash.

good point, i have tons of waxy maise left, what i did try was a small bit of complex 45min before then equal amount simple carbs 10min before and kept crashing for some reason 30min in to my workouts, will give it a try
