pre-workout oatmeal

[ZGzaZ]

How do you guys feel about oatmeal w/ whey about 2 hours before lifting? beneficial? can it hurt me?

oatmeal is one of the best carbs out there, very clean and slow burning. would be an exelent pre work out meal.

Any reason to not use it when cutting? and how close to a workout is too close, if my workouts are geared around fat burning?

I'd say two hours is a good time frame to allow for proper digestion, etc.,

I have always kept carbs (typically in the form of oatbran, about 2 hrs. pre-workout) in my cutting cycles and never really noticed any problems with consistently lowering my bodyfat. In the long run, I suppose it actually helped (in terms of muscle preservation and endurance during heavy lifting).
