When to take coffee before workout?

I was wondering ...if i have my preworkout MEAL 1,5h before workout when would be ideal to take coffee...turkish or nes ...strong without sugar,milk,additives..just plain,black

I have a meal 2 hours before, two cups of coffee 30mins before workout,

Works wonders.

I take mine 30 mins before. Can't live without it.

also plain,unsweetened? with water it doesnt contain any kcal right?

No calories although I have heard of some that contain up to 3. Still, negligible.

Right.

As long as it isn't instant coffee. Especially the cheap brands, don't drink that crap.

Lol I drink the store brand instant coffee..why's it bad?

What about instant nes ...2 g (1 teaspoon) ...with plain water it should containt somewhat 2 kcal? seems pretty strong

Depending on your goals and how much you are drinking it probably doesn't have to be bad.

I drink 300-400mg caffeine / day, and I'm also doing IF so I am avoiding all calories I can.

Cheap instant coffee can be anywhere between 60-90g carbs / 100g.

If you are only drinking 2g instant coffee it wouldn't matter that much.

drink it during :) i do....

what about green tea? by the way i wasnt thinking about taking coffee on purpose of stim...but if u drink it allready and than to pack it up somehow to get atleast some benefits atleast for workout.... so half hour you say?

I wouldn't have the coffee any farther than 30 minutes before the workout or else you may crash halfway through the workout. However, on that same note, I wouldn't drink coffee directly before workout (like 5 minutes before) or else you're gonna crap your pants
