What is something I can take about 20 min. before so I don't have an empty stomach? Would half a banana work?

Protein and carbs. Protein something like Peptopro or hydrolyzed whey. if you dont want to go that hard core just get the whey isolate.

Instant BCAA would work too.

For carbs that is all based on what your goals are.

I'm just looking 4 something so I'm not empty when wo and don't want something that will add alot of calories. Something is going on with my system where I'm fatigued and that's not me. I have been eating very clean and continue to exercise (not the way I used to) because I am tired. I have taken a break but that didn't help. I might have to readjust my thyroid meds. I used to have energy like crazy and this is a real downer. I have to really watch what I eat or I gain weight and this has never been a problem. I refuse to be overweight or out of shape! I do have the whey light that I get in the container is that what you're talking about?

I take it you are hypothyroid? Were you hyperthyroid previously and had a radioactive iodine ablation?

I was on the border a couple of months ago of going into hyper. I've been on synthroid for 10 years. I'll have to ask my doc if I might have adrenal fatigue. I do my wo at 6:00 am I need something good in me to get through the wo.

So ten years ago when you were initially diagnosed and prescribed Synthroid, you must have been hypothyroid?
