That doesn't make a whole lot of sense either because when we wake up in the morning, we ate dinner last night, right?
We have stored glycogen and most resistance training sessions aren't extremely glycogen depleting anyway.
So unless we're going to do some really long form endurance training, in which case, yeah, it's probably wise to have something to eat beforehand to fuel that long session.
The decision to train fed or fasted should be based on personal preference.
If I go in the morning, I always train fasted.
If I go later in the day, I've eaten.
Always.
I notice more the general alertness, but it's probably hard to separate those.
I think we see more performance benefits if you go from being caffeine naive, and I am not.
I'm very habituated at this point, so I'm probably not seeing that many performance benefits.
But I definitely feel it when I don't have caffeine pre-workout.
might make you feel better.
You might feel like you have more energy.
You might feel better in the gym.
Other people feel like they have GI issues if they eat too close to a workout.
And so they prefer to eat afterwards.
So I think if you are someone who wants to experiment with both, then have at it.
But for resistance training,
the composition of the meal you're eating pre-workout is very unlikely to be used as fuel in that workout.
Well, if we are eating right before we train, then we still need to digest and absorb those nutrients.
