hey guys

i just wanted 2 know wats good to eat before a work out.

i was thinking oats or something like that
is it best to go for complex carbs like an hour b4 your workout.

also i heard that its good to eat a banana for simple carbs prior to a work out.

wat do u guys suggest ?

You want to eat it 3-4 hours before your workout. Fruit, oats, brown rice are all good choices.

no oats or any carbs prior to workout ,it will cause insulin spikes in your body. have an rtd shake whilst working out

Be careful using the word insulin spike. A spike would be a large increase and then an instant drop off. So 50g of complex carbs will not "spike" your insulin but it will raise it.
