Everybody's pre-workout meal?

[bswoll]

I was just curious as to what everyone eats before they workout? I have heard taking in a protein shake with some oats, and I have also heard eating a whole meal. Right now I am going the shake route but I have a feeling I'm missing out on some needed cals....can anyone shed some light on this?

BTW I am currently trying to cut

I lift at 10 am on my break from class so i eat breakfast at 7:45 ( 5 egg whites, 1 whole, 1 Whole Wheat eng muffing w/ 2 tbsp natty pb) then a half hour before I take my Smash and im good to go.

What do you think of Smash, how long have you been taking it and have u built a tolerance to it?

I normally work out on an empty stomach. I cant lift if I have food in me... I feel sick

I eat a full meal about an hour before I lift, but I don't have the same thing to eat everyday. I don't think eating a full meal an hour before would work well for most people though.

it usually changes between a solid meal with low GI carbs to a shake or like now, very early morning and getting nuthing in :(

I actually just started on it last week and I am LOVING it. Crazy pumps and energy but not the overstim effect. I highly recomend it. As far as tolerance, I dont think that will be a problem b/c i only take it on training days and just CEE on off days
