[gymratin]

im trying to up my calorie intake -
right now i eat half cup of oatmeal and a scoop or protein powder about 45-60 min before my workout - i know everyones different but do you think i could up that to 1 cup of oats and 1 scoop of powder?

^looks ok 2 me, 2 scoops instead and add a banana or start with 1/2 of the shake.

My pre-workout meal is no more than 250 calories.. I usually have a protein shake or some oats with 1/2 scoop of protein powder and a tiny piece of nanna.

I find the oats pre-workout work great for me and get me fired up, not that I am not already, :P

I train about an hour and a half after my first meal of the day. 1 cup oats, 2tbsp natural PB, 2 scoops whey, 1 banana, ice and water, all blended up in a blender. also 2 cups of coffee.

bascially my question was: is 350 cals 60 minutes before my workout too much too close to my workout? I dont want my body digesting food while i am trying get a pump - my diet is consistent, and i am very happy with my bf% - i was just trying to tweak it - add some clean cals and see if i can put on some lean mass

thanks for the responses
