How much should I eat before a 6 am workout?

[joshrage]

Hey all

Like just about all guys, I'd love to gain a few pounds of lean muscle, and like many, i've got a few pounds of fat i'd love to burn (17%BF).

I'd love to get some advices about how much to eat in the morning before a 6 am weights session. I usually get up at around half 5, and find that if I eat too much I feel fucked for the whole session.

At the moment, I have a powerade and a cassein protein shake at 5:30 and then huge feed afterwards.

Advices?

If you are looking to strip fat then dont eat anything or maybe just a banana. It worked for me years ago. If you casein then take that the night before as it digests real slow so you should have some reserve in there for a morning training.

But i have no doubt that you will hear plenty of opinions on what to do on this forum. Good luck with your training

I cant train that early due to not eating enough. I need a good hour after eating before hitting the gym, I do now lots of people who do train that early some dont eat before hand some do. Personally If I train to soon after eating it will all come back up :puke: . If I dont eat though I feel weak and get a head ache.

have a decent meal the night before training

also as soon as you get up in the a.m you could blend a banana,oats,aminos and instant coffee maybe

id ditch the caesin pre-wo. have it at bedtime.

powerade for intra-wo if your training for more than 60mins, otherwise not necassary

bro just take some BCAA's and a strong cup of coffee before a workout then have a huge feed afterwards.

Half a banana and some oats, with BCAA.
