Eating before workout ?

Question

I juts recently started working out wake up at 4:40 and hit the gym at 5. I keep reading that it’s so important t eat before your workout, that you should eat at least 30 min before your workout but I don’t wanna wake up at 4😆 do I truly need to eat before ?! If I must can’t I juts have a protein shake on my way to gym  or a quick snack ?Thank you 😊

Answer

I don't eat protein before working out. Protein takes longer to digest and your body puts it off until after you're done exerting yourself, so it can cause digestive cramps. 
Best thing is some fruit for sugar carbs and natural electrolytes. Protein after workout!

Answer

Do what works for you! There are a lot of  contradicting outlooks about this, but really do you. I don't eat before the gym, I've tried shakes, boiled egg whites, an avocado (all separate days) and I just felt nauseated or actually threw up. 
If you don't want to eat before the gym, make sure your dinner the night before is sufficient in protein and complex carbs. Of course don't overeat.

Answer

Protein shakes fine. Hard boiled egg is good. But I do fasted cardio in the mornings so nothing for me. Be sure to get your protein in after the gym though. It’s important (:

Answer

Answer

Answer

You don't have to eat before you go. I used to go early all the time and I just ate afterwards

Answer

Only one banana for me if i eat a lot i feel inconfortable and wanna 🤮

Answer

When I get up to workout at 5 I usually just have a banana then protein shake afterwards.

Answer

You can work out on an empty stomach.  If you're lifting weights take a whey protein shake with you, drink half during the workout and the other immediately after. If you're only doing cardio you can wait to eat after. You don't want to eat a meal less than an hour before since your blood will be directed to your digestive system. 
I'm doing a renaissance periodization template. It's great to read how timing of meals is as important as the content.
