Sport Fitness
Yup but at moment im wanting to cut. Then ile start lifting heavy then move onto a bigger gym. There is a big gym up the road which I want to go to when I can drive,. Its about £35 a month but you get access to swimming pool,sauner and the gym. Its part of a golf course and hotel
Item 1:
You feel drained and no energy before going to the gym.
Item 2:
You think that a snack prior to the commencement of your routine, will improve this situation.
Potential answer, by asking questions you need to answer reference items 1 and 2:
1. What is your approximated MT-Line for a typical day?
2. How have you aligned your macro nutrients for a typical day? This means how much Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fats, in grams you are consuming. In addition, once you align your calories and macros, and tweak the type of carbohydrates (such as removing the FRIGGEN Chocolate Crisps, and replacing them with say, OATMEAL, you may have more steady energy), as an example.
3. How much water are you drinking?
4. Are you consuming a lot of caffienated products?

Hey, da-Beav! sup!
I do not remember what your fitness goals were. However, if it is tissue loss (which I assume it is--I think? LOL,
), then keeping your blood glucose as stable as possible is KEY in steady energy levels in the face of a calorie deficiency, IMO.While I do not believe frequency of meals increase metabolism, this does not mean, I do not believe they have value. They do. And, one value is eating frequent enough to stave of hunger and maintain a nutritional push so-to speak.
Additionally, stable blood glucose has many other benefits than just "potentially" stabilizing your energy. It can assist in lowering your hunger pains (that sudden rises and drops in blood glucose tend to increase).
Additionally, the "type" of carbohydrates you are consuming within those grams, play a key role in your energy levels. Some Carbohydrates are in favor of slowing blood glucose increase, while others increase it rather fast, which causes a sudden drop (and there goes your potential stable energy levels).
Therefore, macro nutrients can become PARAMOUNT in your goal quest, and is one reason I had asked you "how you aligned your macro nutrients". So, please, answer my questions in my other post.
Likewise, if you consume caffeinated beverages, and then suddenly lower the volume (as compared to what the body is used to), this can also effect how you feel. If you are not having a problem with this, then ignore this question.
My purpose, is to take a look at your diet as whole, instead of one area (such as your proposed meat before working out), because THIS circumference IS where the answer IS. Not to leave out the possibility of working out too much, and not leaving enough time for recovery. Bodily recovery is "hampered" in the face of a calorie deficiency.

Rub it in why dont you. My girl friend is 600 miles away. Had to move away family problems. Trying to find house and job down by me though as they got family also by me and they have no reason to live where they do now.
