Workout fasted or on food

[kingkonggainz]

What’s up my brothers, do you guys prefer to eat a meal prior to working out or do you go fasted? I personally like to work out in the am fasted with just some sort of caffeine. Eating preworkout seems to hinder and slow me down. What are your thoughts?

 

[Poppy]

I prefer a meal an hour or so prior to.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Meal two hours before. 1 causes better performance 2 honestly with how much I have to eat there isn’t any faster

 

[Poppy]

Changing my answer to a small meal… maybe a medium to large snack an hour or two prior to training.

 

[Kad1]

I can do either, but I’d I do eat has to be smaller meal

 

[Mossy1985]

I usually have a smaller meal about a hour prior. Which is usually a higher carb meal.

Interesting input guys! No matter what I eat and or time it I still feel fasted works best for me, seems like most people prefer to eat. Whatever works and gets people to train my brothers!

I like fasted if I am doing early morning circuit training. Couple cups coffee of course. I love a small meal with a mix of medium to high glycemic crabs about 30 minutes ish preworkout. And a bottle of water with Liquid IV That’s for bigger workouts

 

[John]

I will eat lightly a hour before if possible

It depends on my diet the previous days. After a cheat meal for dinner I love training fasted the following day. After a week on mostly only protein shakes, training fasted would risk injury.

I prefer to train with a small meal before. Fruit or toast with egg whites usually. More often than not I don’t have time and have to train fasted.
