Those of you who work out early morning - do you eat or drink anything before you workout? I am generally not hungry in the morning, but find that I can push harder if I’ve eaten something before working out. If yes, what are your pre-workout snacks/food?

I used to do long cardio workouts before work [I mostly lift these days] and apple sauce was my go to.

You fasted folks are troopers. At my age, I need food and caffeine to pump the iron. No fuel and I’m weak and dizzy. But I only do about 15 min on the stair mill as a warm up and that’s my limit of cardio.

2 scoops protein powder, 1/4 cup oatmeal and a Tbs if peanut butter. Slam it. Slam caffeine and hit the gym with BCAA+ energy. I feel great until about 2 and I’m ready to eat my laptop.

Just water.

Fasted workouts for me too!

I get dizzy if I don’t eat something, bc I’ll do fairly intense cardio early AM. Usually an English muffin or a Kashi cereal bar.

1 granola bar does the trick

Protein shake - even if it’s just half before and then half after. I can’t bear anything more than that.

Water and a preworkout supplement. I know this technically breaks a fast but I find that the caffeinated boost gets me much better lifts in the morning than with just water.

Just BCAAs for me

I can’t eat right before working out or else I get sick, but I normally drink pre-workout that gives me a morning boost more than coffee would.

I am currently working at one of the top tier company (service based)at a project which has come to like and end and very minimal work is there and the team wont give release since they have a minimal workforce and they kind outilize us for their support. As a budding developer I think its kind of a waste of time even though i can alawys keep leaening. Recently I got an offer from Infosys . Should I switch expecting good amount of project experience i will gain or shall i stay.

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming
