I am currently doing intermittent fasting and sometimes don't eat my first meal until 3pm. I noticed the directions for the greens suggest "with breakfast". 2 questions.....1. Is there a reason it would be better earlier part of day? 2. Does it cause stomach problems for some if taken on an empty stomach? Thanks in advance for your repy.

It shouldn't be a problem to take it on an empty stomach. You may want to try half a scoop to make sure though, everyone is different.laurie@controlledlabs.com

It is very important to get those nutrients/calories in after you have fasted all night long during sleep (prevents you from going catabolic and fuels you during the day). The reason you take it early is because it is optimal to take it around breakfast (after being fasted all night) and then again around dinner to keep a steady supply in your system.

I normally have:
- 3 whole omega eggs
-1 rye toast with cheese
-1/2 banana & 1 kiwi with 200gr greek yog
-1 large espresso
- 3 orange triad + 2tbs udo's choice
this is the light version as I hit the gym 1 hour afterhere, near to the polar circle, heading towards the long & cold winter ....but I got my CL stack: OT, BG, PW, OX

2 whole eggs, 1 carton of egg whites
1.5 servings cream of brown rice (oatmeal works as well) with mixed berries for antioxidants
Oximega and Orange triad
And I have Purple Wraath all day as a drink. I like keeping BCAAs and Beta Alanine trickling into my system at all times
Edit: that's a decent meal an hour before workout that you posted, but if I were you I might not have the coffee with the meal. Wait for some digestion then take WF (or coffee, altho WF has extra goodies) after youve digested some ~30 min preworkout to take the most advantage of the caffeine and other ingredients during your workout (and to allow maximal effect of the stims).Last edited by wheyfocused; 02-03-2011, 12:28 PM.
