Time after a meal to have an "empty stomach" ?
ad
Hey guys,
do you think 2 hours after a mixed meal with protein, carbs and fats should be plenty to consider my stomach "empty" even if the food is obviously not digested completely yet ? Full effects of pre workout supplements or things like caffeine should be kickin in, right ?
Thanks

JayD718When it's suggested to take a supplement on an empty stomach, then it is should be taken at least one hour before, or two hours after a meal!
I would never waste a worry wondering if a meal 2 hours prior to training is going to interfere with the caffeine you intend to ingest.
And to answer your question more thoroughly, the only time I consider my stomach empty is after a fast in the morning before my first meal.
Anything in your stomach aside from ingested water is not considered empty

Hello Sir,
Welcome to eRoids community first of all. I would not worry about this too much, main thing you are feeling comfortable. If you start your workout and only think how not to puke well obviously you would need to reconsider you meal timing or redistribute portions.
A nice cup of strong coffee always does wonders to me and following workout, whether I had my meal 10 min ago or 2 hours ago.
Regards
Living4ThePumpYes, going by how you feel will always be best. Thank you very much Sir !
I think your over thinking this mate , if I use any pre workout or high dose caffeine before going to the gym its never on an empty stomach and I still get the benefits from caffeine or if I'm taking a preworkout shake with stimulants . I wouldn't have the energy to train on an empty stomach
Living4ThePumpI usually also have a meal 3-4h before my workout and then 30min before I take my Pre Workout stuff like caffeine and maybe some fast carbs.
X2 keep it simple and consistent
That's very true. Also, you take a potent preworkout on an empty stomach and you'll probably wish you hadn't.....
Living4ThePump"Pre Workout" usually means just a bit of caffeine for me. Never touched hard stim booster or anything like that since I had a very bad crash after I used it one time lol.
I'll use one sometimes on the weekends when working out very early, but always after food. Work out in the evenings during the weekdays, so no pwo.
You're supposed to take Cialis on an empty stomach too and I have read to wait like 3 hours after a meal.
