if it's early in the morning, i'll eat a piece of toast or a banana...i think it depends on the person, my friend runs on an empty stomach
if it's later on in the day, it's whatever i've eaten all day
your body uses stored carbs anyway when you workout, the snack before your run is so you don't pass out imo lol

b]when you say buffer fat cells, does that mean, i'll burn off the fruit first and then get to the fat loss?
also, do you agree with the (somewhat Paleo thinking) that needing to eat 5-6 small meals is a myth, and that eating 3 meals a day is better because your insulin only spikes 3x?

yes, technically it means that the excess carbs (simple) will be stored as fat so while this is going on, your body will tap elsewhere for energy re: the unbolded, re: weight loss i think 4 meals imo are sufficient, even for muscle building if you cant train on E, then train at least 45-50 after you have ingested something

Hey Afro have you had Muscle Milk protein powder before? I'm on the fence. I've had it and think it tastes fine. However some boards say that it's too much sugar etc. I know I need to up my protein. I will be having more chicken, turkey, lean meats and fish too.

That is a lie and a half.
On the upside, I survived my first day of Zumba!!

i tried muscle milk in 04/05
havent looked at the profile yet lately.
it blended well, and tasted great
it wasnt suitable for my needs back then and it was very expensive (it was still an import only item with import only prices)
