I’m not an expert on nutrition by any means, but seeing as some of these questions relate to the issues i had when leaning out, i can give you some of my advise.
TO Charles: If you’re trying to lean down 20lbs, you should look at consuming about 200-300g of protein spread out over at least 6 meals. It may sound like a lot, but that’s about 33g-50g per meal. Also read the section titled “Carb Cycling” to see how to work with carb levels. You should expect to lose about 2-3lbs/week any more is probably muscle or water. Obviously train hard and smart.
Logan: i also wake up and train early, the only realistic option for us is to consume some complex carbs and isolate protein asap. I suggest 1 cup of oatmeal with 20-40g of whey powder mixed in.
Jim: if you mean your kids want to weight train, the answer should be NO! at that age they aren’t developed enough to take the stress of weightlifting. I would say place them in sports until their older; maybe 16-17.
Saravan: same thing; higher protein intake mixed wiht quality carbs and lower fats. Good protein can be found in lean meats, eggs, whey powders. Carbs are good from things like oatmeal, whole wheats, carb powders, sweet potatos for complex, for simple, rice, pasta, sports drinks with low sugars. 6+ meals a day with a lot of water. You have to design a meal plan that is realistic for yourself just take the pointers listed by this site and fit them in to your plan. Hope that helps somewhat.

Hi,

Due to family and work constraints I wake up at 5:30am to get to the gym by 6 then around 7 head to work. With this being said I saw a lot of great information about pre workout carbs and proteins, but what about when you have to lift first thing and waking up an hour earlier just isn’t really feasable, is there a middle ground?

Thanks.
