I've just started experimentation with IF, and I've found I need in the ~500 - 600kcal range, plus intra-workout nutrition to maintain intensity. Alan's stance is self-evident, but I know Martin has gone back on some of his earlier work, stating that pre-workout nutrition is a must. Would love to see your participation on my site - http://www.ryanzielonka.com. @JC

My breakfast/pre workout meal is usually a small bowl of oats and a whey shake. That is pretty typical for me I would say. Like you, I feel that I perform much better on a small meal as compared to a large meal before training. early bird! My breakfast/pre workout meal is usually a small bowl of oats and a whey shake.

I perform better when I'm fasted or have only very little in my stomach (e.g. a cup of yogurt or a small whey shake). However, my reason for getting up in the morning is breakfast. It's my favorite meal of the day and I don't like having to do anything without having had proper breakfast, including working out. I usually have a little bit of food before and then I bigger meal after my workout but I don't worry about its macronutrient composition too much. I would like to have the big meal before but then I don't do so well in the gym. I work out at 5 or 6 in the morning.
