Hi Folks:
I am trying to gain muscle mass and will began working out 4 days per week, alternating upper body and lower body workouts with two days of rest between each body section worked. I'd like to get some advice on when to eat. Should I eat before or after my morning workout?
It seems that when I lift on an empty stomach, I tend to run out of steam in the middle of my workout. But when I eat and then lift, I feel bloated, tired, etc. Same result. .
So, here are my specific questions:
1. What should I do to obtain enough energy to complete a serious workout.
2. What is the best nutrition schedule to get the most of my workouts (Eat before or after workout? If before, how soon before)?
3. Should I drinking a carb/protien drink pre/during/post workout inplace of (or in addition to) a pre-workout meal? Will this give me all the energy I need?
4. Any other advice you can give that I may not even know enough to ask, please provide.
Much thanks.
