This is a diet based post but also very much related to training so hopefully this is the most appropriate forum for it.
I'm embarking on a 12 week period of cutting and will gradually be introducing more CV exercise into my week over time. This week I began SSCV and in the next few weeks I will introduce some lunchtime sessions.
My question is what would be the optimal food requirements and timings to ensure I'm maximising these sessions, i.e. I want sufficient fuel to enable me to train but not so much that it negates the whole point of the session.
[Added this comment for clarification] To begin with I will do one of the following sessions per day rather than all of them each day. I may end up doing 2 sessions per day though further along the line though.
Session 1: 30-45 mins AM SSCV (spinning bike) - I awake at 06:15 and after faffing around at home and driving in, arrive at work at 07:45 to begin session.
Should I have anything beforehand? A protein shake perhaps?
Afterwards? Protein & oats shake?
Session 2: 30 mins lunchtime SSCV (spinning bike) - I currently eat at 11:00 (150g chicken and veg) then at 12:45 (4 x weetabix). I'll be training sometime between 12 and 13:30.
Should I have anything following the chicken meal and before the session?
Afterwards? Protein & oats shake?
Session 3: 20 mins lunchtime HIIT (rower or bike) - anything different here than session 2?
If you can give any advice then most appreciated as I don't want the next 12 weeks to be a fruitless effort.
