Thread: Do you have a meal 1hr-2hr PreWO?

Hey,

Since we all have different life styles etc i just wanted to know who here has a meal 1-2hr before gym? or do you rely on a meal you may have had 4-5 hours ago??

a meal 1.5-2 hours before gym is a must,

have a decent solid meal with protein and low gi carbs,dont put fat in this,

by the time you train it will have increased insulin levels

I always need a meal before lifting weights. Cant train properly with a growling stomach. I agree with mino on having low gi carbs with protein. Chuck in some veggies too, gives me a feeling of well being (I swear veggies are veeerrry mildly psychoactive lol). I remember training after eating maccas and I felt like shit halfway through, energy kinda crashed.

However, before doing cardio, I still eat but only VERY light as I tend to get stitches. I always do high intensity cardio though.

I'm the same as mino, protein and low GI carb meal 1.5-2 hours pre-workout. From experimenting with different pre-workout eating times and meals I've found this works best for me.

Agreed. If you're training hard make sure you've got enough 'fuel in the tank' - for optimum results.

Same as the other guys, 45min-1hr before is a must for my training...

Lately i depended on a meal 3-4 hours PreWO and only a PWO meal 5-6 hours from PreWO made me real weak and dizzy but the 1-2 hour PreWO suits me best.
