Question:
Is it better to workout on an empty stomach?
I am attempting to lose fat and gain muscle. In truth, I am a novice bodybuilder. However one of the things I have been struggling with is whether or not to workout prior to eating breakfast. I workout mainly in the mornings around 4am before I go to work.
I have ran into an obstacle when I dont eat prior to my working out- I get lightheaded/dizzy. What I discovered is that my sugar/glucose level has been dropping dramatically. YET, when I eat prior to my workouts I feel somewhat lethargic. Any suggestions?
Answers:
eat two hours before you work out because your stomach has digested the food and that is when yovr blood glucose is the highest, so you will have energy right away. If a two hour delay is not possible then eat a power bar before you work out and have your first meal of the day one hour after.
