I may do a mile walk, slow pace on an empty stomach then breakfast (egg whites, maybe half a scoop of whey).
Now CFD, you and I had talked about carbs with protein for before and after workouts. The GI carbs afterwards with protein and I think it was a complex carb and protein before the workout? Can you please, and kalimus if you do not mind give me some examples of these?
I know oatmeal, slice of wheat bread or pita is a complex carb but that is about it. That is why I would like some more examples. Plus what else is GI carb besides fruit that may be a better option?

Pre workout wouldn't be complex carbs, it would be simple carbs, which are high GI. a simple pre workout drink would be something like protein powder, dextrose or maltidextrose and water. I mentioned using vanila protein powder and orange Gatorade, Gatorade is mostly dextrose and when mixed together it tastes like a creamsicle. lol
Post workout I always eat a high protein complex(starchy) carb an example would be the time proven chicken and rice or potato's.
