Hey fellas,

There is one thing ive always had an issue with. I wake up at about 730-8, start eating by 8:15, and start working out (at the gym) at 930/945. Im cutting my calories, and for breakfast all i have (8:15) is half a protein scoop of oat bran, 3/4 scoop of protein powder in water, and 4 eggs (3 yolks, i used to do 1 but i thought it would help in workout).

Today I just felt really weak, I usually destroy back, and I felt little energy (but previously to this Ive always wondered if my pre workout routine could be more efficient) If you guys could let me know your opinions on pre workout timing, or maybe if i should increase my calories at breakfast, please let me know. If i should eat more at breakfast, what could i add?

This is the one thing that always gets me. Thanks alot guys.

I try to loose BF as well but there is one meal I'm not that strict and that is pre workout, because this is the most important time to get carbs otherwise you will not be able to go for your best.
So even you're cutting I would eat more carbs pre workout some oats with fruits and maybe some raisins (great source of simple carbs and not as bad as sugar). Of course don't exaggerate but I would suggest to leave the eggs away and mix some oats with milk/yogurt and add some fruits so get enough energy for working out.
Best time to do cardio is 60-90min after the meal so the energy is available.
Hope that helped Wink
