best food for quick energy?

[JustDiesel11]

Looking for the best foods to eat before a work out? I normally do some fruit or a granola bar on the way...anyone suggest anything different?

What you're eating now is fine. I usually eat a meal a few hours before on PM days with equal amounts of all macros. Energy will be there.

Coffee is my go to sometimes ha, sometimes amino energy too, lighter on the caffeine than one PWOs

Kinda figured it was, i normally stick to oranges or a couple strawberries. There is a guy that goes to my gym that brings a huge carton of strawberries with him and eats as he lifts...never saw that before lol

I love using intra-workout carbs with bcaas. I use 80-100g carbs from a powder such as Karbolyn or Karbotic and drink it throughout the workout. gives awesome pumps/energy, and is an easy way to get in more carbs if you get tired of eating so much whole food throughout the day. I hate training on a full stomach so its much more comfortable IMO to eat a solid preworkout meal with say 40g protein and 50g carbs and then use carb powder intra. good luck bro

Love to to have fast digesting carbs before I workout! White rice, oatmeal, rice cakes or a protein bar

[Wafflez08]

Energy drink?

Food... Candy bars, ice cream, cookies?

Less poor nutritious options( at least for me)... Granny smith apples, eggs with spinach, raisins & nuts (not too much), certain protein bars, and beef jerky haha.

I personally like to enjoy a big bowl of oats or grits with some egg whites about an hour before I hit the gym.

If I have to go with a bar for preworkout I go with cliff bars.
If a single food, Yams.

Quick-er digesting carbs such as simple sugars would be the fastest option if in a rush. Ie. Pound a Gatorade.
It's all personal preference really.

Coffee.


Drink it black for ultimate gains. (And it puts hair on your chest)

[goformore]

Since I'm not a coffee drinker I usually crush some Diet Snapple and that does the trick.

[ErikTheElectric]

If your lady's a squirter you can drink some pussy pre.

Seriously a cup of black coffee does the trick. Or better yet, carb up like crazy the night before

Negged.

(and you should seriously opt for some food > coffee)
