best supps to have in morn b4 morning cardio?

[bowzar]

just wondering what would be the best suppies to have upon wake up b4 doing morning cardio, to help stop the breakdown of muscle tissue and how long should u wait b4 doin it after taking them?

i hear, amino acids, whey protein, coffee etc r all good as long as no carbs? can u take all 3 together? and any others that u can take?

I think morning cardio supposed to be done on empty stomach.. so guess nothing?
But I would say 20grams of Whey in Water...

Not 100% tho

Whey is fine - but either hydrolysate or isolate, as concentrate could have carbohydrate, which spikes insulin (and protects against fat oxidation/mobilization). Caffeine and BCAAs are fine too. I've read of tests where caffeine followed by leucine-enriched hydrolysate DURING fasted cardio kept respiratory exchange ratio (RER) around 0.75 - which is indicative of fat oxidation.

So I just have a little caffeine first thing, make my way to the gym, and sip on BCAA's during my cardio. Works really well for me.

Cheers.
