is it good to eat meat before a workout?

[agentofsteel]

quick question:
is it a good idea to eat meat (like chicken, beef, steak, etc.) 30mins-1 hour before a workout? i workout at night, by the way..

try it. Do you feel better when you do or you dont?

end.

can't say that i do...or don't.

[psychojoe]

then it doesnt really matter if you do...or don't.

I know for me I try not to workout any sooner than 1.5 hour within a meal.

If I do I'm only asking my body to work overtime doing both at the same and sacrificing energy I could be using to lift.

Wanted to add " and then there is the hurl factor" lol

Agreed. The last thing you want is to tax your body's energy needs further by exercising with food in your stomach. The body will be rushing blood to the stomach for digestion while trying to rush blood to the muscles at the same time. I see cramps in your future and a loss of energy. Your workouts will suffer as a result.
