People who go to the gym in the early morning, do you work out fasted or not? What do you eat before a good workout otherwise?

To fast or not to fast
fasted.
eating puts you in a energy intake state.
shuts down your muscles and cns
Is this true? Even when bulking? I don’t know why I never thought of going to the gym without breakfast before but this actually might work really well for me because I usually just force myself to eat anyways because I’m skinny and the thought of working out without food makes me feel like I won’t make as much gains or something. Starting from tomorrow I’m definitely gonna give this a try.
You will not be able to lift as much in a fasted state
Tbf, I eat an enormous amount of calories so I probably still have calories in me from the day before
I would guess that if you don't eat a lot you should eat before lifting in the morning
>eating puts you in a energy intake state.
>shuts down your muscles and cns
Frick off. My best morning lifts are when I get a full breakfast in me beforehand. As long as no cardio is involved there are no negative effects to eating before lifting.
>shuts down your muscles and cns
Eating activates MPS.
Fasted weight training is stupid.
Fasted cardio is fine.
I go early (4 am), I don't really need to eat but have a strong cup of caffeine milk and it works
always eat before hand. you can test it yourself. you will always feell and perform better having eaten. even if it's just a small bowl or oats or some fruit.
bullshit
Just drink coffee before you workout and eat after. If you are hitting your macros, you should feel fine in the morning. Realistically, you could probably get away with an afternoon workout provided you fasted in the morning and had coffee before lifting.
>hitting your macros
what does this mean? Explain pls
Macronutrients vs micronutrients. Please read the sticky, homosexual.

It means read the sticky, homosexual.
Absolutely nothing about "hitting your macros" in the sticky, newfren. Did you mean getting a certain ratio of protein, carbs and fats? Do you even know what you meant? The "macro v micro" comment suggests you don't know what you're talking about.
Trying to get actual information from IST is always a waste of time. Nobody knows anything but won't admit it.
100g oats and 1, maybe 2, cups of coffee
Doing cardio in a fasted state provides no benefit, contrary to popular belief.

No, this is fricking moronic.
There is no mention of diet in the whole "study".

If you burn 500 calories fasted or fed, you burned 500 calories. You might burn a little bit more in the fed state because you have higher power output. But as far as substrate utilization, you burn fat with fasted exercise, not glucose in the blood. That's the main draw because there is a chance that you don't replace that fat when you eat, but you have to be in a caloric deficit over a period of time. If you're just going to eat normally there won't be any net benefit.

>inhale a coffee and banana

>get to gym by 6am
If I don’t eat before gym I always find myself weaker
Similar.

fasted
my best workouts are on empty stomach in the morning
Same here, any time ive eaten before working out i feel weaker and sluggish, ive tried different foods and different time lengths of waiting after i eaten to lift. Morning fasted work out is best for me
I used to do this and the thing that made the most difference was taking a scalding hot shower and drinking a ton of water upon waking up. Woke me up better and faster than any amount of caffeine.
Food wise, having some glucose from starch (bagels, baguette, whatever) would be good. Most importantly, get some glucose in you immediately after workout.
weekly OMAD keto low hydration refeeds
3 eggs and a bagel
1 hour later I take pre-workout and go to gym. Yes I fart in the gym. No I don't care if people smell my farts.
I eat something greasy with a bit of carbs. A bacon sandwich or scrambled eggs is pretty good.
Lifting after fasting isn't good, you could get dizzy for a second and end up injuring yourself
i work out fasted, not on purpose or anything i just wake up and go to the gym immediately and eat breakfast after.
I lift and do cardio every morning. Works for me. The test, deca and mast may help though?
I lift and do cardio every morning fasted… I’m an idiot
People who work out fasted aren't serious about "training". Also most people who go to the gym aren't training they are exercising. Big difference.
I don't lift early, but I fast from 3pm to 7am
I hate having food in my stomach when I exercise, but I drink a good bit of raw honey before I go.
