What do you put in your pre-workout shakes on keto?

What do you put in your pre-workout shakes while on keto? Would you want some simple carbs to fuel the workout? Or none so that the body will burn its fat? Should you have fat in your pre-workout shake?
Thanks

Purple Wraath, intra-workout

I use nanovapor. I have tried some of my roommates NO-Xplode and it is pretty good too.

Thanks. I was thinking more along the lines of nutrients though, rather than supps.

Purple Wraath = BCAAs = nutrients

Forgive me. Let me rephrase. I was thinking more along the lines of your ratios of protein, fats, and carbs. But your post was still helpful, so you put BCAA's in. Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

If you're trying to do a TKD - a keto diet where you only have carbs centered around your work-outs and then no weekly carb-ups - then take 25-50g of complex carbs in before your work-out, and 25-50g of simple carbs after your work-out. I'm a big fan of oatmeal, pre-workout - if you're taking in carbs.

If you're just doing CKD then don't worry about a pre-wo shake. Just get the 65/5/30 macros going and call it a day.

When I did TKD, I would do a shake with 20 - 30g of both Maltodextrin & whey before and 20 - 30g matlodextrin + 30 - 40g whey post-workout. Seemed to work pretty well for me, but you have to kind of goof with it and see what works for you.

The shakes were easier for me because I work out at 5am and I just feel like crap if I try to eat that early and lift. 60 - 90 min after my workout, I'd have my first keto meal w/real food.

Tried my first pre-workout drink today; Training Day [Game Time]. I didn't 'feel' it kick it, but it did help out with my lifts. Lifted about 10-15 lbs heavier than usual. Only took 1 serving this time around, will try the recommended 2 on Tuesday. 1 carb per serving.
