Basic nutrition for getting sexy arms is not too hard to follow. And if you ignore all the marketing hype and fads, it's relatively simple to understand.
Unfortunately, there are specific scenarios when advanced nutrition is needed. You can't stick to the basics or else you may set back your sexy arm mission.
Working out early in the day is one example here. Since your body has been starving all night, proper nutrition with precision is mandatory.
So here are some guidelines for early morning workout nutrition:
1. Drink water before anything else. You have to rehydrate your dehydrated body ASAP. You also need to drink enough water so that you can digest breakfast.
2. If you're going to exercise 3 hours after waking up. Have a full breakfast with food items from the following groups: protein, carbohydrates, fat and vegetables. This is the schedule I personally recommend.
3. Exercising 1 hour after rising. Two slices of whole grain bread with any type of nut butter should do. You could use almond butter, peanut butter, or my favorite, sunflower seed butter. Just make sure that your bread doesn't have added sugar.
4. When the workout is 10 minutes upon waking. You could make your own shake with an easily digestible carb like maltodextrin or dextrose, and add in some casein protein. Alternatively, you could have a supplement like power gel.
I understand that you may have a very hectic and "tight" schedule. However, I strongly recommend against working out 10 minutes upon waking up. It's extremely difficult for the female body to digest any type of food or supplement within such a short time frame. You're likely to burn through a lot of muscle if you do this. Not good if you want to get rid of arm fat and get sexy arms! - 29951
