my pre workout meal is just a scoop of whey and a banana + supps..
because i dont want it to digest slow and sit in my belly when im lifting, i want it to be absorbed quick so i can use it for energy.
This has been asked in the past but no real answer was established, so I am asking again!!
My pre workout meal is.......
1/2 cup oats
30g whey protien
2 fish oil caps
1 tbsp flax oil
1 borage oil cap
I wait 20min after eating and take ephedra/cup of coffee...... then off to gym!
Is this ok or should I not have any fats pre-work out? Also my PreWO meal is my first meal of the day cuz I like to work out in morning!

i guess the it's not that bad but u should wait a little more than 20 min.....maybe 40 min...
See how you respond to it. I personally like to eat a little while right before I lift (whole food, like actually lunch). I just feel better. Others differ of course, so try it and see how you perform.
Good call!Originally Posted by scbz01602
I take fats pre-workout too. However, my pre-workout meal is usually an hour before I workout so the fats are beneficial.
