Title: Am Workouts, Pre Workout Meal?
I workout in the morning. Cardio-only days I do on an empty stomach. For the weight lifting days (trying to build upper body mass), what is the best thing to eat preworkout? How is a protein shake and a piece of wheat toast?

generally eating before your workout is not as beneficial as after. first of all your body focuses on digesting the food, which takes away from the muscle. Generally before my lifting days i eat a banana or apple or frigo string cheese light (good protein sourch, low fat too!) about 30/45 mins before i lift, and after i drink my protein shake, as your body absorbs nutrients the best within 1 hr of working out. hope that helps. im sure other people have dif. opininos though

Good answer Kelly! I prfer to eat everyday to keep my body thinking straight, but it is always after working out. Before work outs I will drink a 8oz Boost for the quick carbs to pull me through the exercise.
