Is it good to eat very simple carb like 30 minutes before workout ? Like sweat drink or cake or rice. Or should I eat complex carb. The simple carb is for fast strength for the workout ?

the difference, eat whole egg instead of eat the white only. Don't waste.

Just back from 23 minutes jogging. Pre workout meal is 1 slice cheesedale cheese. Post workout meal 3 eggs with 2 sardine in can. Any comments ?

I dont know much about whey powder and egg powder. I eat alot of natural egg (4-6 eggs a day) during my diet to reduce my body fat. Egg is cheap. Whey protein more expensive. I prefer to eat natural food

i dont know about saturated fat good or bad. Try google our youtube about saturated fat. Recent studies saying that saturated fat is good for your cholestrol level and heart disease. If you are still afraid, eat fish oil or olive oil or flaxseed oil

for your case, i think good exercise and sufficient protein and calories can keep you fit.

I consume about 125-140g of protein a day. From a 2000-2200kCal diet.

My breakdown is 50:25:25 - I'm into bodybuilding right now.

As for too much protein, i not sure about that. From what I know, if you eat more protein, you have to drink more water to aid your kidney. It's ok for normal person to eat about 30% protein i guess, provided they drink a lot of water. For kidney patient, it is not advicable to eat alot of protein.

That is what I know. will hear what others say

Yes, I also eat white rice sometimes. Maybe the fat loss is a bit slow in a long run compared to eating brown rice.

Actually it takes more energy to breakdown the wholegrain food than processed food like white rice (Imo wholegrain bread = white rice). Also wholegrain contains more fiber which is more filling and slow the absorbtion rate more. By this, this is not too much insulin spike will occur. Insulin spike result in reduce body fat burn and increase body fat storage. So they say. That's why it's not recommended to eat sugar or sweet things. It will cause insulin spike. So they say.

In the long run, i think will still have some difference. That's why alot of bodybuilder eat oat, brown rice, sweet potato, all the natural complex carb.

no carb for pre workout. You will perform poorly. No pump man

what workout do you do 6am in the morning. If it's weight, maybe can take white bread. White bread digest quite fast. Or even better, glucose if you want fast energy. Or you could wake on 5 am to eat some banana or wholegrain bread + whey

1. why do you want to stop taking protein. You don't want to eat fish /chicken / beef / egg ? That is protein also.

2. Boil to take the egg white only. Else it will be harder to separate egg white and egg yolk

I'm also having troule to sleep if I workout really hard like weight lifting and HIIT. It's because It's too hot to sleep. Maybe that is the reason. Try to swith your fan to max or on your air condition. Maybe it will cool you and you will be easier to sleep

sweet potato is a comlex natural carb. Same category as brown rice / oatmeal. You still have to control your intake of carb so it won't turn to fat.

sweet corn is the one people make with using planta right ? Then it's a NOT good choice of healthy carb. Contains a lot of fat (calories) and trans fat.

yes sweet corn is a low gi carb.

Try refer here. If anyone finds a low GI and easily available and prepared in Malaysia, please tell us the info.
