Which is most important: meal day before training or after?

[thegamechanger]

Let's say you do legs on a saturday, which is more important, the meals you eat the day before on the friday, or the meals you consume on saturday AFTER the training?

It really doesnt matter.

Only if you're splitting hairs... post meal. As long as you've eaten before and have full glycogen stores you'll be good to go for your workout.

When people talk about magic foods and stupid ratios it's all bullshit. Just eat. And if you've eaten, you're good. After you workout you can eat a little more, and then you'll be even more good lol... people try embellishing meal prep and nutrient timing when in reality it doesn't matter unless you're right about to step onto a stage. 99.99% of the time it doesn't matter whatsoever.

Before. Insulin levels drop when you train. Keep the levels up during. Eat. It's scientific no brainer.

how do you keep them up while you train?

[Coach is Back!]

how do you keep them up while you train?

Easily digestable Carbs (coverts to sugar) 30-60min before and dextrose during.

Keeps you form passing out getting light headed, etc. I'll that trade off.

Depends on the individual.

For example I pinned ghrp + cjc peptides (anecdotally lowers blood sugar) first thing this morning in a fasted state, then went to the park and did ten second sprints with ten seconds rest for ten sets. No signs of light headedness whatsoever. And later in the day I had a weights workout 4 hours after a meal with the peptides pinned beforehand with no problems.

I've also noticed that no matter how much or little food I eat in the day, I don't feel much difference in energy levels. My conclusion is genetically my body is good at maintaining blood sugar or can tolerate low blood sugar without problems.

I can see how other people might have problems though due to their genetics, in which case some carbs might be needed before training.

Do you think Barack Obama carb loads before anally sodomizing the Constitution, as he did on Amnesty? 

It's gotta take a lot of stored energy to sustain an attack on our freedoms over such a long period of time.
