So I have a problem with training fasted in the "morning". I work in the oil fields and on rotating shifts so whenever I do my 5pm-5am shift I workout at about 1am after waking up. Having limited food choices in the town I work in really hurts my options of what to eat during the night. My meals are very spread out I have a post workout meal at 330pm, my lunch at 8pm, and I try to eat something at around 2-3am that's still a big gap. There are times I don't eat anything after 8pm and when I workout in the morning I just don't have the power/energy as compared to when I work day shifts.
Right now I'm beginning a recomp so I am avoiding eating random stuff from the gas stations here I have no healthy choices. So what kind of convenient foods can I look into that wont hurt my goals and can help me train in the morning? I'm 6' about 265lbs and I'm decently strong so I know I need some good eating to keep my strength up and help build muscle as I try and burn fat.
One thing I have considered but don't feel like buying another supp to use in the morning since I'll be using a few others already is BCAAs. I've read that BCAAs are good for fasted training and good to fill in gaps where I won't be eating for extended periods of time. Saw on a video that they help promote muscle protein synthesis when used at times when protein is lacking between meals.
So it looks like a good BCAA product would be a good choice but any other thoughts on how I should I go about it? Thanks guys
