Before I make any more random purchases, I'd like to hear your opinion on a good carbohydrate source before a cardio session or an endurance session.
With the majority of my cardio sessions coming in the early mornings, I'm having a difficult time a) finding a meal that digests quickly, and b) putting it down rather than forcing it down(not a big appetite in the mornings usually). Lately I've tried some meals such as a bagel, pasta, things like that.
The options I'm considering has been the powdered carbohydrates, but I'm looking moreso towards endurance benefits rather than vascularity effects... so I'm not clear where to look. Supercarb, waxy maize starch, and a few others come to mind, but I cannot decide if they fit the job. Currently using AP and P-Slin as well.
I'd like to also add that I ALWAYS eat before a cardio session. Some of my sessions last fairly long, and going in without breakfast just isn't an option for me. I lag bad without food, and I'd be launching myself into an immensly catabolic state. So far, my normal meal (after I force it down) digests in around 60 minutes, and sometimes I still end up pitstopping for the bathroom. For anyone who has experience that during any sort of session, you know how frustrating that is!
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
