One strategy many bodybuilders use is to drink a protein shake or eat a protein only meal 30-60 minutes prior to the morning session. The protein without the carbs will minimize the insulin response and allow you to mobilize fat while providing amino acids to prevent muscle breakdown.

That answers your question about taking protein in before a workout ...
However, if you are fasted, there is no added glucose or aminos in your bloodstream to be burned as fuel. When you are fasted, a majority will come from fat stores and whatever trace glucose or aminos are in the bloodstream.
I think I made sense ... LOL ... It's getting late, I need to eat, and I just played 4 games of basketball ... ugh |
