I an trying to manipulate my food intake to get the most out of it.

After reading, I guess protien is better after working out, to burn the most?

But, what do you eat before then? I am drinking a couple of huge waters first thing in the morning. Heading to the gym, then protien shake after. Do I go on an empty stomach or eat something?

I drink a little bit of Water and sip throughout my workout. I find if I eat a good dinner I am ok in the morning. I drink my Protein shake right after my workout. I don't want a sloshy water filled belly when I am working out.

Otherwise occasionally I will eat a small apple for the carbs before a workout.

Carbs are good about a hour before working out. Gives you the energy you need to really put your all into it.

But then again I have read doing cardio on and empty stomach is good that way you are going right into fat burning. If you are doing weights, its good to have carbs before.

I eat a carb, one that digest quickly for energy such as a banana, oatmeal(not packaged)with berries, Cereal w/skim, greek yogurt with low cal granola. From what I've learned, for fat burning, 1tbsp of all natural Peanut Butter on 100% whole wheat toast is good with bananas on top. There's many things. It's all based on you and your taste.

Research the subject. That's what I've done. Read read and read. There's always something new and exciting when it comes to healthy eating.

Good luck

Thank you for the info. I guess I have ben doing fine, I didn't want to make my body stop burning if I was suppose to be eating.

I love to workout as soon as I wake up in the morning. However, I can never eat as soon as I wake up or drink anything because of things getting stuck. So I'm usually heading to the gym on an empty stomach. Any advice?!

I drink half a premier protein shake then the other half after. Water with work out and that's 30 gma of protein
