    We all have different diets and obviously different weight classes that we participate in… But every one of us needs to optimize our body for training and comp(if that’s your thing). Who goes with fasted training methodology vs some examples of pre/post training meals? I feel personally it’s something always being tweaked depending on current goals, but we all have some go tos or things we learned along the journey. I’m curious what the people have to say?

    10 weeks out I would start cutting any unnecessary carbs. 8 weeks out I would start shrinking my portions along with protein shakes before and after training. Consumed 2+ gallons of water per day because of the excessive cardio. 2 weeks out depending on where my weight was at, I would add a salad to replace either my steak or chicken meal. Week of, I would start cutting water intake and cut out protein shakes. Wed, Thu of that week I would eat a protein bar for breakfast and a chicken breast for lunch and supper. Weigh in day, I would eat a protein bar and a capful of water early. I never tried fasting.
