For those of you on intermittent fasting, what do you eat before working out?

Or is it just a fasted workout?

It depends on the day. During the week when I can't get to the gym until after work I'm not fasted and just go on whatever I had for lunch which lately is Broccoli, a couple hard boiled eggs and a chicken breast.

During the weekend I don't "eat" before my workout but I do pop some BCAA's, 1 scoop of whey with water, and 2 scoops of Jack3d also mixed with water. Post workout meal = feast mode.

I used to ingest BCAA's prior to working out in a fasted state.

Im not on IF, but my food wouldnt be much different if i were. so

weekdays : kg of grk yogurt about 3 hours pre workout
Weekend: beta alanine + vitamins/fish oil

The only thing that doesn't work for me is having a substantive meal immediate prior to my workout. I'll just mellow out and feel like taking a nap. Feels good man. But not quite the ideal mindset before a workout ;P

If you can not or do not want to have a fasted WO, just stick with a moderate meal that not stuff yourself...going with 20-25% kcal from total is a good way to do that and not needing to down all your calories in a short period of time after WO

lol and he downs it in about 3.2334 gulps if I recall correctly lol :-)

I usually take 1 scoop of Whey in water about 1.5 hrs prior then my pre-wo drink (self confessed caffeine junkie here) about half hour prior.
