what do big people eat pre workout

[EMC]

what do all you big guys eat pre workout? originally i would have a heartly full meal but i found it would kill me in the gym due to the digestion...so i switched to something simple like an apple and a shake and ive been able to lift pretty heavy without any interference in my workout...but lately ive just felt like ive started to crash and need more calories i dunno if its because im lifting heavier and i weigh alot more now...

i would appreciate if you all just let me know what you eat and how early prior to your workout.

I eat 45 to 50 minutes before I train and I would have a handfull of raisons and nice big glass of trim milk but when I am traveling I just have a 300ml of milk and any type of fruit that I can get my hands ie apple etc

[Pete_S]

Shake (100gms oats/45gms whey with water) and apple

If you want to get big then its a good idea to do what big guys do.

As some of the guys have said, timing of injestion is important.

Its very important to start your day with the breakfast of champions.

I can scoff a good meal before training and tend to most every day eg 2 cups rice, veg, chook sort of thing about and hour before i walk in to the place. No probs...guessing the para-sympathetic nervous system will direct blood away from the digestive system so eating closer to training than that could cause issues for some.

eat some lollies during your workout if you're crashing or suss a meal before hand that you can handle.

About an hour before my workouts, I sack some rice (around a 250g bag of that microwave stuff these days) mixed with a can of tuna or chopchop - usually the smaller cans, but if I'm feeling peckish I'll go for a larger one Dunno if it's the "right" meal to eat before a workout, but I noticed since I started eating like this I've had a lot more energy for my workouts :nod:

And then 5-10mins before the workout I have a protein shake (30g WPI).

Lately ... about 40 minutes before > 400ml Milk + 100g lite yogurt + banana

During workout: Powerade > purple one + 1L water

Been having a solid meal straight after workout.

does the milk not bloat ya?

[Optimass]

not really ... would have to have 1L before that. Used to have a full meal before training in the old days - so I guess I'm just used to it. (didn't use whey back then).

[greyghost]

I'll let you know as soon as I get "big".

[Jonny_R]

I always have 250g rice, kumara, and chicken breast about 1-1.5 hours before workout. Any less than 1 hour, I just get really bloated...

I have my pre-wrkout shake at 5.30pm and train at 7pm. I find i get some indigestion and heartache from the oats but have anti-acid tabs on hand. I'm talking raw oats in the blender (not cooked). I'd definetly recommend you try this pre-workout. My current diet has been set by a current IFBB pro who is also also a qualified nutritionalist (so cant complain with that)

[big MAC]

A banana, a muesli bar, a can of Monster and sometimes a Speights.

Generally in the car on the way to training, with the exception of the beer, that would be illegal.

a Speights.
