No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I usually do the four things on my free days first thing in the morning on an empty stomach but today I overslept and for some reason got up very hungry.

If I eat a regular meal I'll have to wait 2 hours before I do my routine. I was thinking about just eating some slices of whole grain bread with nothing on them to calm the hunger and proceed with my routine.

I however don't know if this would be a really stupid idea. Furthermore I don't understand why feel so hungry and tired today.

I hired a nutritionist for a while specifically for soccer. She sent me a chart, that I don't have handy of course that basically gives you a 4 hour window of how to eat.

4 hours before, a medium amount of low fat protein and a large amount of carbs. Add a bit of sodium/potassium.

3hours before less protein about the same carbs.

2hours before no protein only carbs

1 hour if you have too, only carbs. Example here is granola, or edamame.

In all cases it's easier to avoid meat based protein before, as they are too high in fat.

Post game eat a large amount of protein and a large amount of carbs. Replace your electrolytes with something like coconut water as it has a lot more than gatorade. (Magnesium for example)

Personal examples, Ive found these fig bars from Costco that have 3g fiber and 3g protein, are small so they fit in my gym bag easy. I'll eat them pre gane, and these wafer protein bars that actually taste good for post game. If I remember I'll edit the post for them. Body Armor literally from costco, is the best sports drink I've found, minimal sugar, tastes fine and has the most electrolytes diversity.

A little bit of protein and sugar. Tbsp of cashew butter on an apple or banana.

I think a light snack couldn't hurt! Bread might be a little heavy, maybe something like fruit or yogurt if you have it!

Black coffee before a workout works for me, but that probably depends on how long you'll be working out. Everything I do is an hour or less.

I do cardio on a empty stomach, just some salt beforehand.

If you want to carb load right before cardio, maybe something not very heavy. Like the glucose gummies runners take

If your sleep schedule is messed up, you wake up stressed with elevated cortisol which makes some people hungry. It can take up to 72 hours for your body to get back to normal after inadequate sleep
