I always train in a fasted state. Although I also workout in the morning. I follow up afterwards with 4 scrambled eggs.

It’s also much like the beginning days when humans needed to gather their food before eating; working out before eating essentially.

I find I can push harder in a fasted state. I did try a couple times in the beginning to eat first and it was awful because you’re scrunched up in different positions or have your head below your waist or food hasn’t settled yet.

I know others who will follow up with a protein shake immediately after their workout. Whole foods focusing on protein is best in my opinion.
