Pasta before workout?

[Ahadi]

My company ordered Italian food for lunch



But I brought in for lunch Chicken Breast, Brown Rice, Spinach & Avocado. My skinny pawg co-worker keeps trying to convince me pasta is ok for pre-work out, but I know I’ll fall asleep.

Thoughts?


EDIT: I work out the whole body every other day. 160 lbs / 6ft

Shouldn't be an issue. Maybe go light on the cheese if you have lactose issues

As long as you're prepared to put in the cardio to burn it off

Why would he have to burn it off if its just a different type of meal than normal?

Depends on the amount of calories. I assume he's talking about a higher caloric intake than usual for him if he ate the pasta based on the food he listed for lunch.

Yes

them pasta carbs reak terrible havoc on the body, but if your working out like regularly it should be non-issue

You got some peculiar nutritional values. I saw a post about you recommending chick thighs over breast

How is that peculiar. Seems silly to force chicken breast every meal when there is a better tasting alternative. Only difference is slight change in macros because thighs have more fat.

In regards to working food off.......you can have an outlook that you don’t have to exercise to a certain point or extra to burn off certain food. Some of you might have a healthier relationship with food and exercise with that view

Slight change in microsnigguh thighs have 3x’s as much fat as breasts and that number get incremental as the portions increase

Closer to 3 times but chicken breast are notoriously low in fat. Easily adjustable for macros unless you are on competition prep. For the average person it’s a fair adjustment for better adherence and not coming to a forum bytching about flavorless food.
