Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, episode number 2008.

Now this is a quick Monday show, I'm going to rattle through a question that has been sent in about, it's kind of about appetite. I think it's

quite interesting because although not a huge amount of people suffer with this, I think

it is a problem. I think if you're a coach you're going to encounter this

problem and also I'm now really going to talk about the way to kind of bulk up

your diet a little bit more when it needs to be. There's always occasions

that we need more calories than we're potentially taking on board or have the

appetite to take on board or have the time to take on board. So anyway let's get into the question. Grant Miller says

Ben thanks for the content you put out it's been very helpful on my fitness journey but I have a

quick question for you. due to the unpred

I do you to the unpredictability of work I go to the gym first thing in the

morning roughly within one hour of waking up. I have been

training fasted but find that I am not hugely hungry immediately after working out. Also, my

size has not increased and strength gains are stalling on some lifts as well.

Additionally not being hungry makes it difficult to get sufficient calories in

and the meal timing is unpredictable due to work.

Would it be beneficial to have a shake with proteins and carbs on the way to the gym?

Should I make a large shake and have half before the gym and half after?

Thank you for any insight and help.

Grant or everyone in general, yes yes and yes. This is where liquid nutrition is absolutely golden for people that don't have that great an appetite for people that struggle to get overall calories on board, for people that are struggle to get overall calories on board for people that are moving

around really busy with work, you know, they don't get the chance to just sit down for 20 minutes

and enjoy a meal.
