Ive been cutting and was struggling with workout energy. Usually i have some overnight oats w blueberries but ive been adding a couple big spoonfuls of honey lately. It’s made a big difference.

I like oats but I train early so I need fast digestion. My meal needs to be mostly absorbed in about 30 minutes time. Oats take a bit longer, but are great for satiety

Generally the easiest for me is rice or oats because I workout in morning. When I lifted later just whatever my meal was

I grind up some oats to powder , with collagen, protein powder, creatine, salt.

Good idea yes I thought about doing that

I drink it about a hour before workout and I don’t have any issues, plus it’s extra fiber!

People tend to overthink this. Some people like very little in their stomach while some like to be full. The food choices are also individual. As long as you try to keep the carbs high and fats low with moderate protein you’re good to go.

If you tend to go hypo easily have something more hearty and slower digesting.

I personally don’t like to have much in my stomach at all. I pretty much train faster due to having to hit the gym at 4 AM. However, sometimes if I’m a little hungry, I’ll slam a few rice cakes or something very quickly digesting. Because I trained fast and I will have an intra with EAA and all that stuff.

Sugar free red bull and electrolyte water.... on way to do more morning fasted cardio.

I’m liking Dates. Small, easy to slam a few without feeling bloated. 15-18 carbs each.

Either nothing or a rice krispy treat or banana. I workout at 5am and don't have much time. EAAs in my preworkout then some in my electrolytes I drink during the workout

I think people really overestimate how much their glycogen stores are. Diminished pre-workout and how much are actually being diminished during a typical 75-minute weightlifting session. We're not out there running a Iron Man for 7 to 15 hours and drastically reducing all of our stores inside of our muscles

If you're eating a well-balanced diet and hitting your macros throughout the day, you're most likely going to be fine. Worrying about heavy timing and nutrient Windows is like a 2% thing versus an overall diet is like a 98% thing

I'd argue proper hydration is probably more important

Generally try to have eaten a meal at least 60-90’ prior or I feel too full. If I’m a bit hungry prior (sometimes even if not) I’ll have a few fig newtons with my pwo drink. Keeps me from feeling hungry and also helps keep me from going hypo during a longer workout, which usually starts around 45’ in without some kind of snack. Occasionally will have a few rice cakes instead

Love me some fig newtons
