Intermittent Fasting …
There’s a lot of opinions out there & questions.
Should I train fasted?
What should I eat before a workout?
Answer is quite simply.. it’s your choice.
Let’s get into the mix of intermittent fasting.
Some people prefer to train fasted as they don’t want to be bloated or feel they’re going to throw up their bagel or porridge oats.
Some prefer to have a solid meal like eggs on toasts 1-2 hours before – to fuel their energy.
Some people are happy with a banana or fast carbohydrates(eg Powerade) before a workout.
Whatever your preference on fasting is, it’s personal to you.
So don’t read why you should train fasted or why you shouldn’t – it is your preference. So if you feel you perform better fasted – then go for it!
The only misleading agenda intermittent fasting can cause – is that some people believe that you’re starving yourself.
YOU’RE NOT.
You are just saving those calories or meal for later on in the day.
E.g. Someone who trains fasted in the morning will have their breakfast maybe at like 10/11 o’clock – after their workout.
Opposed to someone who eats their breakfast before at 8/9 o’clock.
Intermittent fasting is not starving yourself or reducing calories – it is saving calories for later on in the day.
Now if you’re wanting to see top results & progression in your training this is a different conversation.
Scientifically, you need food in your body to fuel your energy to reach optimal performance.
