Because glycogen stores are depleted? I have been doing 35 minutes on a stationary bike each morning. Pretty high level. I stop at 35 minutes because that's when I hit 300 cals. I just started this a week ago. I am lifting weights in the PM also. 5 nights per week is my goal. I am hoping...

I like eat 6 poached eggs (4 whites and 2 whole) + 1 slice wheat bread toast. Cut them up in a bowl along with the toast. Really good

First thing in the AM on an empty stomach or After weight training

You're going to the gym around 9pm and getting up at 5am ? After w/o for at least an hour, then getting home and showered and settled in, you can't be getting to sleep until midnight. That's only 5 hrs of sleep. Not good.

Is doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach doing more harm than good ? Will I burn muscle too ? I want to trim down this Winter, but don't want to lose muscle.

I don't want a cassein shake either. I need some food ideas. Nothing too fattening since I am trying to lose weight. I do poached eggs a few nights, but need something else. TIA

Hello, this is my new plan. Please let me know if it will work or not. I am trying to lose the 20 lbs I have gained this offseason. I am 6' 220 lbs male. Meal 1 - 3/4 oats , 1 scoop whey , 1 banana in blender Meal 2 - turkey sandwich on wheat , 1 tbs light mayo Meal 3 - 1 scoop whey ...

Love the low carb bread idea. Any suggestions to what kind and where you get it ?

Quick update. I started incorporating some incline walking a few times per week too. There is a trail by my house that goes down a decent slope. I walk 22 mins down and then back up at a pretty good pace. My HR was in the 140's coming up. I then do 15 mins of stationary bike when I get home...

Thanks for the advise. This is where I am confused. If I take a scoop of whey when I wake up, doesn't that ruin the idea of doing cardio on an empty stomach first thing in the am ?

will the whey defeat the purpose of doing the cardio on an empty stomach ? I want to burn some stored fat. Also, I have done this 17 out of the last 21 days and starting to see some results. But, I don't want to burn any hard earned muscle. TIA

I don't wake up until around 9 and do my cardio around 10. I always heard doing cardio on an empty stomach burns the most fat because your glycogen stores are empty and your body will use stored fat for energy. I am just worried I am breaking down muscle too. How do you avoid this ? ps...

How about walking on an incline treadmill ? I have some disc problems, so I can't jog.

1) milk is skim 2) the PB is low fat, I just can't stomach APB. 3) really can't do my cardio any earlier, and want to make sure it's on an empty stomach. It's the best I can do for now. 4) Baked potato is too late ? Too many carbs that late ? What is the latest you would eat carbs ...

Please ?
