Hi guys,

I'm moving house and my new place has a gym 5 minutes away, so I'm not sure what to eat for breakfast.

I would usually have oats/eggs and then train about 1.5 hours later, and have 50g dextrose/protein pre-workout and 50g dextrose/protein post-workout.

but since ill be waking up and going straight to the gym within 15minutes should I just have my pre-workout meal and then go? or should i have a larger amount of dextrose pre-workout?

Or wake up lots earlier? (id rather not)

Ok, so this is what I'm thinking

TRAINING DAYS
06:30 - 50g Dextrose Pre-workout/waking up with protein
07:45 - 50g Dextrose Post-workout with protein
08:30 - Breakfast, eggs & oats
10:30 - Shake with oats
13:00 - Lunch chilli with rice
15:00 - Shake with oats
18:00 - Dinner meat & veg
21:00 - pre-bed Cottage Cheese with almonds

NON-TRAINING DAYS
08:00 - Breakfast, eggs & oats
10:00 - Shake with oats
13:00 - Lunch chilli with rice
15:00 - Shake with oats
18:00 - Dinner meat & veg
21:00 - pre-bed Cottage Cheese with almonds

3175 282.25/359.65/67.50 Training Days
2500 218.25/266.05/63.30 Non Training Days

how does that sound?
I have to leave for work just after 08:00 so training really needs to be at that time.

CHeers!

This is taken from an article I read about carb cycling and the author gives meal timing based on workout time. This would be your situation and is basically the same as you have suggested:

Finally, those who have to train in the morning (around 8:00am) should use the following schedule:

Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal drink

Meal 2 (post-workout, around 9:00): Carbs + protein recovery drink (Surge)

Meal 3 (12:30): Carbs + protein meal

Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 5 (18:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 6 (21:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies

For me it depends if it is a weight day or cardio day.

Since I am in the gym before 5 am it is difficult to cook and then hit the road. For my weight days I mix a protein shake with ground oats for my pre workout and during workout meal. As soon as I get home I eat at least one bananna and another 1/2 cup of oats with cinnamon and a tablespoon of natural Peanut Butter post workout. Breakfast #2 may consist of egg whites with mushrooms, onions peppers wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla (8inch)

If it is a cardio day, I dont eat until about an hour afterwards. I do fasted LISS. I usualy eat a serving of All Bran Buds with skim milk and a egg beaters omlet with mushrooms, peppers, onions and 2 slices of turkey bacon. Breakfast #2 will consist of oatmeal with cinnamon, cottage cheese (1%) a piece of fruit and some almonds.

Just some more ideas for you, :gl:
