    Pre workout

    How glycemic are everyones pre workout meals?

    I have always done super low glycemic...like oats or pasta. (Even though I knew I could go a bit higher)

    I am considering doing dex+whey... Or maybe if I make it solid foods, something like ww bread with natural jelly +whey...

    any ideas?

    I just eat a regular meal. Usually 2 turkey burgers on whole grain bread before I train.

    You really dont need a high GI food pre w/o. It would help to sip something with dextrose during the w/o, though... and obviously for post w/o.

    you DONT want high glycemic pre workout... you want complex carbs for a steady flow of energy during your workout. Sure the high GI carbs will cause a rush of energy, for a short period, then it brings you down and feel wiped.
    low GI carbs + protein preworkout. or depending what time of the day even EFA's+protein.

    i normally have a bowl of cereal with fruit - fairly low in fat and cals and good source of carbs. i also find a drink with high caffiene content is good for a bit of kick b4 i start cardio.
