What would be the ideal pre workout nutrition protocol? How many carbs and protein, how many hours before? Are intra workout carbs essential if I’m unfed, if so how many?
I train twice per week (all I have time for at the moment unfortunately) -after work on Friday evenings and Sundays. Friday’s are usually up in the air for me, we eat at work around 1230 (roughly 50g protein and 50 grams carbs) then I get to the gym directly from work at about 6 unfed. As I typed this I’m asking myself wtf don’t I have protein bars for the car ride to the gym on fridays. Sunday’s I normally wake up around 6 and get to the gym at 7, slamming a protein shake and eating a banana before getting out of the door.
So I feel like my system is lacking and I’m looking to improve it, any pointers would be helpful. Could anyone refer me to resources regarding ideal pre, and intra workout nutrition in regards to performance? Thanks!
