You eat 30 meals before breakfast? You really are tough

Thanks for pointing that out. I changed it

Everyone says the whey is really important first thing in the morning so you need to keep that. You might change the carbs source, maybe from maltodextrin to oats and EFAs.

Did he say he wanted help from the ladies?

TOM would like to thank all these ladies that responded with advice to his thread

eat some pussy

Well I was hoping Jodi or Emma would reply. Maybe there on vacation

I'm not a lady, but you could read up on this thread in the meantime. Both Emma and Jodi have given some feedback there.

Bump. still looking for Jodi or Emma to respond

Well, if I can put my two cents in.... I have my PWO meal at 4:30 am and am at the gym at 5:00... usually just some yogurt w/oats (I mix the night before) I eat half before I work out, then when I get home and before I go to work I mix the other half w/water and a scoop of whey and drink it.

It works for me anyway

I probably go around 10 hrs without food between going to bed and getting up. At 250 lbs, I'm not sure that would be enough protein before my workout. Now this morning I changed it and had 1 cup of oats and 2 scoops of protein. Felt good during my workout but waited about 45 after taking in that meal before working out.

I'm a believer in real high protein everyday. I take in a minumum of 500 grams ea day.

Basically all your answers are in the thread BulkMeUp posted ..

If your working out 30 minutes after waking up, make sure it's a shake. Something like FF/SF Yogurt and /or Skim milk , rolled oats, +/- some fruit, +/- some water with some whey is excellent, it'll give you all you need. Since this is first thing in the morning and your lifting so close to waking up you need something that will digest quickly to give your body the energy it's going to need.
Now if You wait 45 minutes .. if you want you can eat a solid meal .. although it really isn't enough time to be digested to give your body the fuel you'll need to lift. Espically since it's first thing in the morning.
If you really wanted a solid meal here, I'd be more opted to wait around one hour before lifting ..

thanks Tom. what I'm going to do is grind my oats and put them in a whey shake and then lift.

Sorry - mean MIA for a few days (damn real life ).

I would have what tom said - a shake with fruit, FF/SF yoghurt, whey and some oats (preferably quick oats) would be perfect.

This is what I have pre-training (in addition to some creatine). I also soak the oats overnight in the yoghurt to allow them to soften - as this also speeds digestion.

when u guys say yogurt, u guys mean the fat free or low fat fruit yogurts right ? (ex: yoplait)

The natrual greek stuff. No fat. No added fruit. No added flavours. No added sugar. With live and active bacterial cultures still present in it.

The ingredients should say:
Skim milk
Milk solids
Cultures

In most cases the macros should be something like 3.5 oz is ~50-55 cals, 6-7g carbs, 4-6g protein, 0-0.2g fat
