Excerpt: I was wanting to learn more about pre workout nutrition and/or training fasted. Some guys say it is a zero sum game and you should never do it. I seem to have better workouts when I train fasted, yet others say they have no energy and the body needs something to tap into so you must have a pre workout meal. am I the outlier?

Re: pre workout nutrition
Preworkout you should eat IMO not fast, drink a protein shake with carbs and train hard with cardazol

Re: pre workout nutrition
the reason you feel more energy when fasting before a workout is your body is not having to waste energy digesting food.
we waste 50% of our energy daily just digesting food. our body has to process everything you put into it!
95% of my workouts are fasted and once you get used to it you will never go back to eating before a workout

Re: pre workout nutrition
100% on board with Steve on this one. I use to train in the evenings after eating all day. Decided to switch it up and started early morning fasted with just a black coffee and will never go back to evenings. I have more energy throughout the day and don’t have to deal with all of the people at the gym.

Re: pre workout nutrition
It really depends on the person, type of training, and your goals. If you are looking to stay lean like me then fasted training is great. I am not putting up any records with my lifts. If you were a power lifter though, or looking to put on serious size then yes, you would want food.
