Ablister Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Today is day 1 on my first W30. I’ve read through so many threads and articles, and 2whole books but the pre/post WO is still stumping me a bit as I’ve seen mixed things. I’m overweight so while my ultimate goal isn’t to lose weight, I’m not trying to maintain my weight so I know having a carb for post WO may not be necessary unless I’m working out hard. But I’m one thread someone said something about not needing a pre-WO if you’re just doing a lighter WO or just walking/running. So can someone clarify that? And if the WO is light and/or just walking/running, how much of a post-WO is needed? Aside from that, I was thinking about having my coffee with coconut milk/collagen peptides (primal proteins)/MCT oil (This coffee combo is my normal morning drink anyway) and egg yolks as a pre-WO and the egg whites as my post-WO, adding in some sweet potato if it was a hard workout. Does this sound ok? thanks so much for any input and/or pointing me in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ablister Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wow. So 4 meals +/- a pre-WO? Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Primal Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 As per those other threads, it's probably not necessary for the majority of people, but if you're doing really intense training, then pre/post-workout calories could be helpful.
