I was wondering if anyone could suggest some sort of pre workout meal. I usually wake up at 4:00 in the morning, make something to eat and fall back to sleep until I head off to the gym at 6:00. I generally eat some oatmeal, egg whites, and have some orange juice. I know you're supposed to eat one and a half to two hours before a workout with solid foods, and typically 45 minutes to an hour before a workout with non-solid foods. My problem is that I think the oatmeal I'm eating is too high in fiber, which is harder for the body to break down. So I was wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions. Oh yeah, the meal I eat needs to last me at least three hours. I play a lot of basketball so I do a lot of cardio. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I never had a problem eating right before gym, no matter how big the meal I can do squats & no problem.
Actually, I'm obessed with going to the gym with LOTS of fat, protein & carbs, otherwise I feel I'm not gonna get such a good workout.
But since I'm bulking it's great
!
I'd say you should eat more. I don't know your weight or if you are bulking or cutting, but it sounds like too little food to me.
Add the yolks from the eggs, don't stress so much about cholesterol, I've been eating like a freaking bear for 6 months & had a blood test recently to check my cholesterol & was normal.

all you need in the morning is a scoop or two of whey protein w/some high glycemic carbs (like dextrose, or some orange juice) to shuttle the protein in the muscles and get the blood sugar back up after a night of sleeping.
You can do this 30 minutes before you head off to the gym. It's better to sleep til 5:30.. getting up at 4 eating then going back to bed has got to be fukking with your sleep patterns.

Since you're training in morning I would go with what Diesel said. Either that or down 1/2 cup oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla whey and then go to the gym 45 mins later.
i personally cant train at 5 am lol. it has to be at least 8 or 9 at EARLIEST. i like to eat a moderate/big meal like 2 hours pre workout and thengo straight into training or eat a lite snack like 1/2 cup white rice and apple or graham crackers with cup of skim milk. wait about an hour and then train.
oh BTW - pre workout meals are important but not even close to as important a good Post Workout meal is.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
It is very important to eat carbs in the morning so that you "recarb" the liver. This keeps you out of a catabolic state. Otherwise the liver will recarb by converting protein (muscle) into sugar. Which would be a bad thing.
