💯 who doesn’t eat in the morning?… and throughout the day?
@@MiddleAgedMike before I started working out, I’d not eat till lunch at best and barely ate. The drugs, the lack of sleep, the lack of hygiene.. nothing was as bad for me as my eating habits treating my body like trash. Sober now and obsessed with eating lots and going to the ol gymnasium!
It's a good way to bulk!!! I work out kinda late around 8:30 or 9pm then eat dinner when I come home and the go to sleep. Then repeat.....
Anabolic window is back boys
*back on the menu, boys
😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Funnily enough, the anabolic window is right for the wrong reasons: the real reason you should be eating closer to the end of your training session has all to do with carbs and litte to do with protein. The rate at which glycogen can be synthesized is greatly increased following exercise, and since you can only produce so much before your next day's training session, you should aim to maximize it.
Brilliant! The Anabolic window was peak GNC marketing.
@@GuyC7better than maggoty bread
As an insomniac caffeine at 5 pm is a wild concept.
50mg right before your afternoon workout (if you go hard enough) will wear off before you actually get in bed
@@billyray4716 definitely not the case in literature or practice but oki.
You are so wrong. @@billyray4716
50 mg is nothing, more like 200 mg before workout
What time would you go to sleep?
I stumbled into doing this and didn't even realize it was helping me. The most convenient time for me to workout is on my way home from work. I lift, down some protein, and then go home and immediately eat dinner.
The few days I workout in the morning I feel like I'm hungry all day.
Same when I first started working out several years ago I would eat on the way home and I ballooned. Fast forward a year after that after some time out of the gym and I didn't eat all day just something at night and could not grow for the life of me and couldn't figure out why
@@kaelibt5135and that's when you discovered caloric demands?
I was OMAD for a while but got tired of trying to eat so much volume/protein in a single sitting.
Ended up just switching to early morning workout then small meal with 50g protein shortly after (whey + other stuff). Then just eat my main meal in the evening.
Has been the easiest for me and haven't been hungry throughout the day
@@winebartender6653I’ve done the same thing and it has been working really well!!!!
Lowkey just resting on those few days is actually probably more beneficial
I hate training in the morning, but it makes the most sense as there are fewer distractions and conflicts with life.
You’re also the most rested. Think about it, the later in the day you train, the less rested you are. You’re closer to going back to bed because you need rest. I think waking up, getting hydrated, eating a big meal, then caffeinating, then training, is the best way to do it. That’s what Jay Cutler did he said.
Same here. If you got kids, good luck finding time to train if you have to take them to soccer, basketball, etc practices. You can try to train late like some friends with kids do at 9:30-11:00pm but after being up 14-15hrs, it's not for everyone.
@@WildmanWaltersI think the video dealt with a question about fasting because that throws everything out the window with training/eating in morning. But you are right. Training at 9pm after taking car of work, life, kids is hard because you have 14-15hrs in body.
Been training from about 7:45 to 8:45 in the morning for close to a year, and the six months before that when I first started trading at Al was afternoons before dinner. My only gripe with morning training is the pumps are better after a more of a full day of food, but other than that it works a lot better time wise and hasn’t really FELT different in terms of gains.
@@godofpunder1875 Word. I was on 3rd shift for a while. Had to get off that shit. Now waking up at 4:30am. Hydrate while initially waking up then eating a meal by 5:30. Training at 6:30. Work at 8. Been enjoying it so far.
This isn’t only “the better” way to plan your day, but it feels so good to eat after a solid near death experience
ive been enjoying how these little tips are popping into my scrolling now.
Totally agree Dr.Mike, if you're fasting you gotta be strategic. I'll throw in a note though: If you prefer being fed before lifting you're also good, as it takes time for protein levels to peak in the blood after eating (roughly 1-2 hrs), so if you're concerned with perfectly timing it, eating a significant dose of protein just BEFORE lifting is also effective. I would just recommend making sure one of your meals is after lifting so there is sufficient calories for recovery.
fasting is useless
Keep in mind that the body can either digest the protein or undergo a strenuous activity. Not both. Which is why so many people puke that pre-workout drink. It's your body's way of focusing on the exercise by removing the distraction in your stomach.
Who starts thier feeding window at 6or7pm though?!
@@Fleischnakathe added benefits may be negligible, but it’s an easy routine for some people to get in and often stay in, that helps them significantly cut down on their daily caloric intake
@Fleischnaka lowering your insulin by not eating for a period of time (fasting) , is proven to be beneficial, especially if you are suseptible to being diabetic.
perfect timing for this short, thanks

This got old a while ago, bro
Listening to these people on UA-cam who thinks everyone has the same genes and body type, is the reason alot of you are confused and don't get results.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff its racist to tell the truths on our scientific/biological differences between the races of human BEANS to be honest though this Jewish doctor knows a lot more than most youtubers
@Shon52 is this a good thing or bad?!🤔
You nailed it Dr. Mike! Let’s go build some muscles 💪🏽 ladies and gents!!
Doing this process I lost 80 pounds in fat and gained about 14 pounds in muscle in 18 months. I kept my protein levels up, ate good clean Whole Foods, And had a 600 Calorie deficit a day reducing carbs. It wasn't that difficult just took some discipline. 1 year later I've maintained weight but put on a bit more noticeable muscle. My point is that the advice from this personal trainer is good and works.( I'm a white male, 56 years old living in UK. Take care God bless.
Good job! 👏🏽
@@CaptainCologne Thank-you. I appreciate the encouragement
600-800 seems to be the best to lose weight without losing muscle for sure
Thank you for telling us the color of your skin, I wouldn’t have understood your comment otherwise.
@@Camjidi That really made me laugh, Thank you
I love training early first thing in the morning then eating. Doesn't always work that I can train early but I need to make it happen more consistently. Home gym definitely makes this possible.
I also train in the morning and eat straight after. Is that a good thing?
@@guandechoo6946 it can be depending on your routine. What Mike is saying applies mostly to people that are fasting throughout the day. If you train in the morning have breakfast wait for an hour or so to digest then hit the weights and after your workout have a protein shake then dinner later on. That’s what I do and it works fine for me, can’t speak for everyone however
@@Raysomesavesomeyeah, he was referring to fasting and training and fitting in 16hrs fast in 24 day usually includes your sleep time. The other solution is stop eating at 4pm, train morning and eat at 8am and eat until 4pm. That's it.
The problem with all these solutions is that they are very specific to certain lifestyles. The most important one is kids. The second is work and commuting. You work from 9-5 and have kids and his solution goes out rhf window. I get home just a bit before 6pm. Cooking, store, homework, drive kids to sports, do stuff around the house, appointments and so on have priority
That's why many people I know train early morning for that reason. The only 'me' time they have. It's also why my friends with kids many will train on Saturday and Sunday and one more weekday and do some stationary bike at home. Everyones personal, social and work life is different.
But I know very few employed people who can train from 4-6pm.
I start work at 6am every morning, I break at 08:30am and head to the gym, start training around 9am - 10:15am. I’m charged up on caffeine, lift or cardio depending on what day, then home at 10:30am smashing anything that resembles food. Normally start my feeding window with some Greek yogurt, love it. Back to work at 11:00am. I won’t eat past 18:00pm so I’m getting a good 14-15hr fast window in. Mike I love your content, easy to understand and follow.
What he's recommending is actually very counter productive. Not the least of which is because taking caffeine at 5pm is a legit awful idea. You're gonna to massively mess up your sleep with that and sleep is a giant factor in gaining muscle and being healthy in general. Also saying to workout late then eat a giant meal before bed like that, yeah having that much food in your stomach will also significantly affect your sleep. What he's recommending is a cocktail for terrible sleep.
I live by this advice. Thank you 🙏🏽
Good to know!!I prefer training late and when and what to eat can be a struggle.I HAVE been eating the majority of my daily nutrition AFTER my workouts.It was the only way I could put on any weight since I have a ton of GI issues to deal with as well.Eating to much before always had me spending too much time in the restroom.So timing of my eating is essential.

@@terigiese1322That does exactly nothing.

These training shorts hit hard.... keep em coming!!
My Routine 100% effective
Pre-Workout Muesli Meal (90-120min before training): 50g oats, 100g plain yogurt, 25g unflavored Whey, 15g crushed almonds, 1 sweet apple grated, 80g blueberries
Post-Workout Shake (15min after training): 40g Whey Protein and Banana
Post-Workout Meal (60-120min after training): Chicken and rice
After a 16hr daily fast, workout, eat your one meal a day, Rest & Digest💯 have patience king and do the hard stuff
Nah I do none of that and still gain. Poor advice from people who have no ideal what they're talking about.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff praying it turns out eventually for you brother, god bless🙏🏽
love how clear and easy to understand your explanations are. thanks
Even better advice. Do what works for you. You could watch videos all day long, and most of it probably won't work for you like it does that individual.
You know, I was gonna argue against what you just said, but years ago I stopped going to the gym because I was seeing conflicting stuff. I was hearing from one guy about how it's easy to build muscle and lose fat at the same time in a caloric deficit, then another guy debunking that saying no you need a caloric surplus don't be afraid to pack the pounds and shed later etc etc... several examples like that. Train this way- no thats totally counterproductive that just makes it worse, do this! And so on. Then I just said screw it and stopped going lol.
Moral of the story is, it's better to just go and try out different stuff until you find something thats right. A workout plan is better than no work out plan. At the VERY least your cardio will thank you bare minimum. You're likely to make gains no matter what if you're a noob.
I will say though,what this guy is saying definitely makes a lot of sense. Eating right after a work out allows your body to soak that up usefully rather than converting it into fat (the conversion process takes about 4 hours from the time you eat for the unused calories to be stored as fat). If you have work for the calories to do, more get used up! If you have less as you've just been sitting around, they get stored as fat. So I can see how this works best. But like I said, doing any working out is better than doing no work and still stuffing your face like you're still "bulking" like I was (I called it my "couch bulking" when I wasn't working out. I also referred to my gym membership as my "fat tax" lol)
@thomasfisher763 I started 5 years ago and learned so much over the years and stayed consistent. Found what works for me to the tea. At the point now where I can do just "maintenance" routines to keep my build.
Simple & effective advice. Thanks Dr.Mike 👌
Fast until 10am. Lift at 8am. Dropped almost 30lbs since January.
I started to not eat anything from 10pm-10am. I cut soda mostly(I allow myself no more than one a day) and eat only fruit from 10am-1pm. Add in push ups and sit ups and crunches and I actually have some tone again at 40.
I'm down 25 lbs in about 2 months.
@@Will-tm5bj add weights instead of body weight
Love this video, simply put and i respect this man's knowledge.
Great video Dr. Mike!
I live this everyday lol!
Thanks again for your knowledge, humor and candor!
Amazing content! Thanks doc
Didn't know you before I started working out I guess I still don't know you but you are the gym bro. Funny, sarcastic, and educational thanks gym bro doctor.
I've recently starting training like this, and it seems to be working really well 👌
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much Dr. mike you may be crazy but you spit Fax.
Always has great information this guy is the best at this
I'm personally a gym ends the day kind of person. So this just works with my natural eating habits. After is also when i typically eat most of my calories for the day
Thanks so much for the deets! 😊
GREAT video & info!! as always!! tx...ahemmm...one suggestion...add a colored flowchart(?) graphically-showing that data, too! the Presenter's voice is so-good, that it, don't laff..."conflicts" with assimilating the info. Could make it some kinda unique-shaped flowchart do-hickey, yes? GRRReat Vids, buona fortuna! (man...this is amazingly-obvious, so...how come I NEVER thought of it CLEARLY like this? huh? Heyyy...this fella deserves a REAL TV-show! :-)))
I love training RIGHT AFTER I get off from work (I work in a factory, bust some sweat through out the day, but nothing like construction where I'm lifting cement and bricks all day)
so I'm still moving around and have been on my feet for 10 hours blood pumping and food in my system, not starving or fasting but not full.
That seems to be the best for me.
IF I had more discipline or time, I probably WOUOD prefer training in the morning so I can get that physical and mental pump. But it's very difficult since wake at 5am.
And right AFTER I TRAIN I EAT!!!! And then sleep at around 11-12.
Sleep is probably my biggest problem, I get around 4 hours, but I make up on the weekends
Love the advice
Yeah always felt the best after work no matter if I was getting off in the morning (third shift) or afternoon etc. No matter how tired I was always got a better pump, feel more energized get that jacked energetic feeling in the gym.
I love training in the evening but I did realise throughout that training in the morning will bring out more consistency than the evening time though it comes at a cost but it's worth it considering a long period of time.
My wife and I do this! Works great. Also, make it a high protein organic meal with a small bowl of fruit and half an avocado each.
We intermittent fast, so we do not eat until 10AM. Last meal before 6PM. Low carb, high protein almost no sugars.
I did intermittent fasting for two years, worked out fasted right before chowing down. My blood work was immaculate. Triglycerides build up in the blood when we have extra calories that we don't use for energy, well working out fasted forces your body to scavenge for glucose in any form, so you deplete your blood triglycerides (reducing risk of heart disease), kill off old damaged cells (reducing risk of cancer), and sweat like a pig in a bacon factory (reducing risk of staying conscious).
You Just Rock!!!! Thank You Sir!!! 🤗💞
Gosh i gotta eat by noon. You guys are disciplined and i am here for it.
I've tried this over a long period of time when my work schedule forced me to. All it did was ruin my sleep.
Now, I wake up full of energy, workout really hard, take my protein shake, work a full day and drink a creatine smoothie throughout the day, then have a moderate meal after work before completing house chores and relaxing. Then wake up full of energy again and repeat.
This is my current schedule and it works 🔥
These guys with no families really don’t understand how much other priorities we have. Train whenever you can fellas and ladies with families. Consistently is key.
It's probably the only thing I'm doing right since I started training 😂😂😂
This is exactly what I do . Thank you Doc
I go to work at 4am, bread distribution territory, decent amount of movement/physical activity.
Get home between 9a and noon depending on the day.
Get home, protein shake w/PB powder, work out, another protein shake/PB, walk for 45 minutes at a brisk pace around the neighborhood, shower, pack of chicken breast lunch meat(44 g of protein, 200 calories) w/sugar free BBQ sauce, then dinner at dinner time (usually whatever the wife makes).
Don’t work out on Thu or Sun, don’t walk on Sun.
Eat carb heavy on Sun, but don’t go too crazy on calories - 2500 to 3000 total for the day, mental break from being low carb during the week.
Love your advices 🤙🏽
I did this by accident and noticed the best results now it’s my favorite schedule
TOP NOTCH INFO THANKS FOR CARING SOO TRUE HAVE A SUPER 4TH OF JULY💯👍🇺🇸💪🌟👊🏆
You're best to eat 30-60 minutes after a workout. NOT IMMEDIATELY, unless you're absolutely starving. You want to leave the blood in the muscles for a period of time and let it dissipate naturally. Then they will absorb the nutrients better.
I always plan my training so I can eat immediately after workout, and protein shake is a must, don’t even catch my breath to drink it…meal is max 15 min after proteins
Love the shirt
I do 20/4 IF. I eat a reasonable meal, train about 1.5 after eating. Then eat right after. It works well. Only downside is having to be a little careful about what that pre workout meal is.
He's exactly right. If you are an adult this works really well. If you're a teenager then eat all the time.
I do IF and train fasted . I only have time early am 4:30-6:00am.
Now what I been doing is not eating a meal but supplementing with EAA’s and my first official meal is not until noon.
Thoughts on this?
Yes, I am aware that by consuming an EAA supplement I am not technically fasting.
Why even do “IF” at that point?
@@psychohippie2003 it’s not so much to lose weight but to perhaps control my cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia ) and some digestive issues.
There are some promising human studies showing IF has some positive effects on cholesterol issues
@@josepht2127 sounds reasonable
You’re better off breaking your fast no later than 7 am, or 1 hr post workout by eating how Dr. Mike describes. Big meal, lots of protein, healthy fats and carbs. Idk what your IF approach is but I’ve never been a fan of OMAD. Choose a 16:8 or even a 14:10, something that you can stay consistent with and make it a true fast.
Train in dinner time, and i work in a office. Works pretty good, heavy training like 11am (with caffeine), dinner, and light intelectual work during the rest of the day
Thanks!
I hate to work out on an empty stomach so I usually eat before and after working out.
I realized that I trust Dr. Mike more than 99.9% of other internet personalities regarding training and nutrition because if anyone else told me “eating after a workout feeds your fat less because your muscles soak up the nutrition instead” I’d write that off as bs bro-science immediately, but since it’s coming from Dr. Mike I’m way less skeptical
I actually started eating breakfast then not eating and untill im off work and workout and ive gained 15 lbs in about 2 months. Dr mike is a G
I know he wants me to eat 4 meals a day but I'm just not that damn hungry
I’m the opposite. Man if I eat late in the evening… I have heart burn and don’t sleep. I intermittent fast from 230p- 10am the next day if possible.
I think u just have to do what works for your body.
If I train in the morning without food…. I can barely make it. Literally no energy. I know… I’m doing something wrong. I try to get as much nutrients as I can but it’s a fine line if you want to keep that six pack. I drove tractor trailer for 4 straight days … morning till night so it’s all dirt then. Small cardio after work and repeat.
I work out for an hour and half each day for my 3 days off and I can stay quite lean and in shape. Most is diet!
I go to the gym around 8:30 every night. I use the machines I need without waiting or feeling rushed. I come home and cook/eat around 10pm. Bed at 11. May be a little late but I’m eating as soon as I’m done training, and I don’t eat again until around noon the next day with a cup of coffee or protein shake for breakfast. Works for me.
Makes perfect sense dr
Spectacular advice, I usually recommend 1/2 hour -2 hour window after workout
Great strategy during Ramadan
Thanks doc.
It works for me. I’ve gained 12 pounds of muscle since November and lost 70 pounds.
I wake up, immediately eat carbs and protein, wait 2-3 hours, do a 2-3 hr workout, within an hour eat carbs and protein to fuel back up, wait 5 hrs, eat fats and no carbs, repeat.
Only caveat is having 2 eggs + cottage cheese & a dab of olive oil each meal which likely aids giving long term fuel (in addition to the fast acting proteins earlier in the meal) in addition to providing the minimum amount of fat for hormone production without slowing digestion to a halt.
Whenever I need longer intervals between meals I just add more fats to lengthen digestion, feels like a flexible routine.
this is exactly what i do. the reaults are tremendous
Spot on Mike 👍👍
Renaissance man I think makes the practical sense. I haven't heard any manipulating lies from this man. You can trust the Renaissance Man! He's my Hero!
There are some advantages to eating early and then fasting through bedtime into the next day, so I like to train around 10am and have a big lunch going into an afternoon nap
Just requires I start work early and end late, but with a several hour break in between it's not that bad
Gym early morning on an overnight fast. Usually finish up about 11:00. Then it’s protein rich meal right after working out. Dinner about 17:00. Repeat
Nicely said
Good thing I was on the toilet that chime at the beginning got me
Isn't the best time to open your window more like an hour before training? Break your fast with a carb heavy meal, use that energy to go as hard as possible and then continue your feeding after with more protein leaning meals?
Thank you chief
Great advice thank you
Laughs in 12hr (2days/2nights) shift-work
Thanks for the reminder to feed myself after. I'm always hungry after. Also training on empty stomach makes me dizzy, so I'm not doing that either.
I mean I still feel if I have a belly and I am doing OMAD that if I workout in the morning it is better because I still have energy from the night before. Being in a calorie deficit and losing weight trying to gain a hint of muscle does not really have a window. The body is always doing it's thing. I like to get up and have around two cups of black coffee and go to the gym, shower and go to work. I get home and if it's a double shift I will eat my first food of the day and in about 2 hours. I then chill for around 2 hours and go to bed. That is what works for me from a hunger and satisfaction standpoint. It also keeps my waist how I want it and that is what I value most about fitness
Yeah...
I was following the same pattern last 6 months round...
My heavy protein meal lands rt into the schedule after my Workout.
Coz I know that protein synthesis occurs best post wrkout.
So yeah thanks for assuring Mike about the post wrkout meal window.
Been doing that for 8 months and it’s valid. Some of my best gains in years
Training always makes me hungry after, so it's just eventual for me to train before my eating schedule.
This is absolutely the truth. I just like lifting at 11am to noon and on heavy days have a big lunch afterwards on light days, higher rep days I just wait for dinner. I'm always far less sore when I do this and can hit it harder next time that muscle group comes up.
I went from eating 4 times a day, to literally one small meal per day with hardly any protein and carbs, andni gained more muscle than I have in the 4 yrs I was eating alot of food. You guys can keep listening to this bs if you want, or go out and find out how YOUR body works, and not take advice from people who give you advice based off of their own experience.
It takes energy to build muscle aka calories. If you think imma believe you gained more muscle by eating one small meal a day 😂😂@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff

I always train very early in the morning when the gyms quiet and empty-ish. I eat before I go, Greek yogurt with fruit or mozzarella salad sandwich, maybe an egg then I have a 50g protein shake afterwards😬, I hope that’s enough.
Have you ever seen the documentary about Sumo wrestling? It follows a kid who wants to become a wrestler and they talk about training, diet, timing of sleep, and for example that those 600lb + guys hold a ton of brown fat and don’t have health issues if they follow the clean sumo eating traditions. Very interesting, and it’s also ok to drool when you see them cooking chanko.

Nice and simple. 💪
I train in the morning... But do NOT eat before my training...I eat sea salt and Himalayan pink salt and drink either almond milk or some kind of juice for the potassium... To get my electrolytes 😊
