    Hello mate, I train early mornings aswell, up at 3am and in the gym by 4.

    I have an intra workout shake containing 40g serving of wpi and 50-100g cyclic dextrin (depending on if in a surplus or deficit). I start drinking as I walk into the gym and aim to finish on my last set. Then I get my first meal in about an hour later. I find this to work for me.

    Post workout meal is about an hour later.

    I would do this

    20g MPs

    50g Performance fuel

    20g honey

    5g glutamine & creatine

    1L water upon wake

    Then

    Mix

    Mps again 20-60 performance fuel intra depending on your calorie needs intra again creatine & glutamine

    Wake up 30 min earlier so you have an hour to let the first shake digest and you can actually hydrate [/quote]
    Wondered what your feedback was to this mate…

    I tried this this morning but felt it sat worse on my stomach than a cereal & whey breakfast and just smashing an early gym session 30 minutes later.

    I think it was the intra workout drink that felt more uncomfortable when training more than the pre workout shake.

    Good meal the night before that doesn’t negatively impact sleep. Quick digesting form of nutrition in the morning upon waking can be cream of rice/whey/banana, or as simple as carb supplement and aminos

    Either way I would also have intra carbs and aminos during training

    And then solid meal post training

    Thank you

    Thanks mate, I’m not in UK so what is the technical name of MPS & performance fuel that I could be looking in to?

    Thanks mate, how much water you put that in out of interest? Have you found the rest of your food you can drive your scale weight up?
