lobsteriffic Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I workout at 6:30 AM when the gym opens. This is really a non-negotiable most days. I know I should be eating something before I lift. I'm already waking up at 5:45 so I don't want to wake up much earlier than that. That doesn't leave much time for a pre-workout meal to digest. I've been eating a banana before I go as that has simple carbohydrates to give me energy. Is this sufficient or should I really be eating more? I'm trying to cut bodyfat. Thanks!

DV Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Given your time frame, it looks like fruit is your best option. If you feel okay lifting then it's working. Just make sure you eat a good-sized meal afterwards that has protein and carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkei Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Bananas sound like a great choice to me. I personally go to the gym at 6:30 or 7am each morning and usually just have a banana or two as well. It's simple and has carbs, and won't take a lot of your energy for digestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I do feel okay lifting and I eat my post-workout meal right after I shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
