eat before or after work out?

[Swolehead1]

some people say that eating before a workout makes your blood concentrate on digesting your food instead of working on muscle. Others say that eating before you work out gives you energy. which one is right?

Eat low protien high carb just before workouts( 10g p). 15 min after workouts eat another 15-30 grams of carbs. Then 30-45 min after workout eat a bunch of proetein because the muscles are at the lowest insulin resistance of the day then. Its only high levels of protein that takes away from your ability to workout.

what would you reccommend as an easy fast good carb source before / after a workout?

I haven't been taking 2:1 carbs to protein after my workouts, maybe I should start.

50g dextro + protein (whey) pre workout
same after (and creatine at the same times if u use that)
Wait 30min then 1 more protein, then 1 hour later food

Try drinking a shake while working out. This made a huge difference in my body composition.

Post I go with 100 grams Whey, 50 grams Dex and 50 grams Malto, 15 grams Creatine, then I do this again 60 minutes later...

I've been told at least a dozen times to get something in my belly before I worked out at 5:00am. I've tried eggs, fruit, drinks......

I've always gotten nauseous.


Now I'm doing evenings and it's much easier. But I still cannot eat within an hour ahead of hitting the gym.

rubberduckyo, If you can get that food down at least 30 minutes prior.

Try this is it is too early for food, just have Whey protein like 60-80 grams in water only, you will have energy into your workout and you will not burn muscle for energy, of course complex carbs with protein are the best...
