Need help on pre-workout meals .

[JKurz1]

wetabix is a whole grain breakfast cereal, low fat low sugar high fibre.

OK, so comparable to the states version of All Bran or Fiber One?

In my reasoning, the rice would spike the insulin but the blood glucose level WILL NOT DROP since the beans are still doing their great job right? Perhaps this might even be the most convenient environment since protein is being shuttled to the muscle cells yet there will be no drop and rebound.

I do not believe this logic to be correct.

Oh and to the thread starter:

I like to have tuna (+mayo) about 1 to 1.5 hours before lifting and a peice of fruit 10-15 minutes before hand.

I dont like eating anything too heavy directly before hand because sometimes I feel like it might come back up if I'm working real hard (ie, squats, serratus pulldowns)

My best workouts are when I have oats, eggs/whites, and coffee about 1-1.5 hours before..........cardio is the same way........tomorrow I got both and a huge bowl of oats/egg whites are in the mix.....

 

[ProtienFiend]

jk, what is this oat/egg white mixture you speak of?

It sounds very... well, I'll let you explain.

 

[JKurz1]

No big deal really, I just cut up hardboiled eggs and toss them in my oats after they are cooked........just takes the monotany out of eating bland oats with splenda.......

Do you guys have cooked oats, like porridge?
Ever eat them not cooked, just with cold milk?

we have all bran in AUS, UK etc, but weetbix are compressed into a biscuit the shape of a small mobile phone, and tend to be eaten as cereal with milk. looking at this discription it doesnt sound too good! its 97% wholegrain wheat, high in fibre, low in GI etc. good eating. only problem for me is that i find i have to drown them in sugar to get some taste. people eat them plain with jam on them... whatever tickles your fancy.
anyway, hope that gives you some idea. i was over in the US for 3 months over christmas and never saw them for sale
peace
