just curious, what is the advantage of eating 60-90 mins before, instead of like 30? Just more time to digest?

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of 60 minutes. I figured if I had some meat and a sweet potato that it would take at least that long before the carbs and amino acids were flowing through the blood. I'm just so used to having a quick digesting shake 20-30 minutes before working out I wasn't sure how long to give whole foods to digest.

depends on the size and contents of the meal.
steak, potatoes, veggies vs fruit and whey.
individual tolerance would be a factor as well.“You never won’t know what you can’t achieve until you don’t achieve it.”

Fruit and whey wouldn't count as a whole food meal. Since that combination would digest much quicker you could have that much closer to the workout. That's basically what I used to have about 30 minutes pre workout and it always worked out great. I've recently decided to switch to using whole food meals for pre workout but I wasn't sure how much more time a whole meal needed to be consumed before a workout compared to a shake.Originally Posted by djansen
