2hrs. pre-work out/2 hrs. post work out

[ehinkley]

I was wondering if it would be better for me to consume more carbohydrates in the meal two hours prior to my workout or fat instead. I have a shake just before and after with some sort of fruit. I currently am eating oatmeal, veggies, and protein around two hours pre-workout and two hours post workout I am having fat, protein, veggies. I didn't know if it would make much of a difference if I switched these around?

I tend to go with only carbs and protein peri workout. A good mix of simple and complex carbs would suffice, such as dex/malt and fruit for carbs and whey for the protein.

Example:

Today, since I'm doing some assessment lifts, I had eggs, cheese, ham, oats and cherries with milk 3 hours before. About 30-60 mins before the gym I'll have a whey drink, during I'll have 1/3 strength surge during, and a normal PWO drink after.

Then the PWO feeding is probably going to be a turkey sandwich.
