So should I drink some juice as soon as I wake up? It usually takes me 20-30 minutes to convince myself to get out of bed and work out.

favorite post workout meal is one slice of oat nut bread with 1 tablespoon of natural crunchy peanut butter, while I make a whole egg and sautéed spinach, bell pepper and mushrooms

I workout at nights because it's the only time I can fit it in my schedule , so do I still have to eat after my workout even if I'm not hungry? I hope someone that reads this can answer my question.

So easily accessible carbohydrates available when you are going aerobic… does that mean that when I drink a Monster Energy drink I should, pretty soon, work out… ?

Anyway, I love energy drinks… is there any way to responsibly drink them? (or is all hope lost for my Monster I've had one a day for about 8 years.)

That seems like a lot of good in formation however if you mention anything other then protein I have no idea what kind of food you are talking about so for me this was a bit of a waist, not trying to be mean because I love you guys, just asking for clarity on the types of food.

I do my workouts around 2-3 hours after breakfast, and when the workout is more intense, I 100% include an apple/banana/peach. And I usually have lunch after the workout, then dinner 4 hours later.

Dear fitness blender ,

Sometimes I get severe chest pain when working on my right side , should I stop and take a break or keep going ?

Also, I some times feel very weak ( like low blood sugar) is this a normal thing for first timers

I usually have a banana before I workout and then after my workout I have breakfast or if it's later in the day i have oatmeal or a sweet potatoe since that's what I usually crave after a workout

The best thing you can do: workout in a fasting state. Especially HIIT. It burns the most fat.

In a species similarity context, don't forget to give healthy food to your dog. Dog's biological functioning is still not abble to consider bananas as healthy…
