Thread: Supplementing with carbohydrate & protein during workout

A good meal 1hr or so prior or a decent carb/protein shake 15-30 mins prior to workout should do just fine. No need for whey/carbs during. Some people like to sip on a gatorade during their workout, but thats not necessary either. Just plent of water, followed by another shake or quick meal with plenty of carbs, and a decent amount of protein imeddiately afterwards. Then try for another meal about 1-1.5hrs later.

Well this I know, but I've been reading lately about supplementing during your workout in order to curb catabolism, I think it's unnecessary for myself but was wondering if anyone else did so and liked the results

i doubt you need to curb catobolism during your workout unless you are working out for hours upon end. Some people like to take 5-10g of bcaa's to help prevent this just incase, which isnt such a bad idea. you may want to look into that.

I agree--I would just feel sick I think, I mean whey??

I do it when i bulk i mix orange gatorade with chocolate whey

I guess it would depend on how long you're working out too
