eat a normal meal before hand and drink a high glycemic carb drink right after

i eat a normal meal before....like 2 hours before. But immediately following training, i drink a shake with protein and maltodextrin.

If its in the morning I eat some oatmeal w/ 3 eggs and 6 whites...after my workout I take in a protein/carb drink...I prefer drinks after my workouts and a good solid meal before I workout.

Question

Lets say.... you do not have time to eat a meal in the AM before the gym
Can you have a protein shake instead?
What are other options?

Thanks,
CC

Spatts -

Do you eat fats with all your meals? I've read conflicting information on this (when to eat fat) per the diet board.

I always recommend eating a higher fat meal with protein and lower glycemic carbs before training... and then for after training you want your fat to be very low, or none... with some high glycemic carbs and a generous portion of protein...

and if you don't have time to "eat" before training, have a meal replacement shake with some flax seed oil...
