I used to be really anal about eating all the 'right' foods at the 'right' times. Now I just eat like I wanted to and feel exactly the same and workouts seem just as productive. The only time I might even contemplate eating something special is if ive had to miss a meal. | ||

 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | Big_Gray, I get up at 6.45 and am at the gym by 7.30, usually have 50 grams powdered oats, 10 grams honey, a banana, half a pint of whole milk, and a double espresso about 7, then a shake of 50 grams maltodextrin and 10 grams dextrose through my training. Got any better suggestions for someone who trains early like me? | ||
