I eat then go workout 30 minutes to an hour after then after I workout I have a shake and a banana and 30 minutes to and hour after that a light meal like a tuna sandwich or a turkey breast burger ect, before you know it it's time for supper. I think a shake only before a workout makes for a weak workout because atleast for me I need a meal of Whole Foods to go and push myself hard as I can for 30 to 60 minutes and by time I'm done I need to refuel myself. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
