Food before early morning gym ?

ScoobyDoo69 · 13 Nov 2012 at 15:25

Hey all,

I'm starting to go to the gym in the early morning now, arriving at around 6.30-7.00am and working out for about up to 1hour 30min including circa 40min+ of cardio.

What would you recommend as something decent to eat as breakfast that will keep me going and not bloat me?

Currently I'm just eating my usual cereal, Weetabix or Bran Flakes.

Thanks

Porridge and a banana

Or a protein shake + oats and a banana?

Nothing, just do it fasted and take some BCAAs

Allergic to banana

And I don't buy protein shakes etc.

BCAAs?

Depends what his goals are...

Seeing as he's mostly doing cardio though, I'm guessing that's probably best

BCAAs

This is what I do, does me fine most of the time

I do it fasted. Doesn't seem to have too big an effect on performance.

Black coffee

So are you proposing that I then eat after the gym session?

If I'm honest, I'm not one who likes to invest in any supplements etc as I always feel that if I ran out or forgot to take it that you would suddenly feel lethargic and slow?

Or am I over exaggerating?

You are over exaggerating it.

Man up and have a coffee.

I don't do coffee
