oatmeal

[MULE]

quaker whole oats are a greaat way to start any workout, complex carb. good glycemic index and will fuel you through your entire workout. I have people who become hypoglycemic when I train them and this always takes care of the problem...

I always carb up before my workouts. When I do this, I feel a lot stronger and have a lot more energy. If I don't then I'm draggin in the gym. I usually eat a bunch of oatmeal or brown rice or some baked pots or some other high carb food.

Potatoes actually have a poor GI, unless you mean sweet potatoes or yams.

 

[Vennom96]

Usually I do sweet potatoes but every once in a while I'll eat some baked pototatoes to switch it up.
