So, as I am reading through most of the posts, the Nutrition 101 really made me feel like a newbie. Anywho, I am definatly someone who does not feel like they have alot of energy in the gym during a work out.
So I see in the "nutrition 101" that there is a suggestion of drinking Protein and Dextrose before your work out to "bust your body down".
Well my goal is to stay the same weight, (205lbs), not necissarily bcome bigger, and convert the fat that I have to either muscle, or just tone it down. I am not fat, but I am definatly not tone. Which I am looking to change. I want to see the six pack underneath all of my "inculation" as I would call it. But I need that boost in the gym.
On that note. Would Protein and Dextrose give me that boost without having me put on weight? Would there be a better thing to do to make sure that I can have a good energy level during work outs?

I know I am going to have to change around my diet a little bit, but I eat pretty well. Could eat a little better which will be changing shortly.

Thanks for any help.
