Morning CrossFit workouts - BPC or no BPC?
hi all, i just started bpc and intermittent fasting however I'm not sure how to incorporate this in to my days when I do crossfit in the mornings about 3x/week. My normal routine is to take a pre-workout with some dextrose, then post workout take in carbs and protein. I'm wondering if I should keep this routine for my morning workout days and only intermittent fast on my off days or when I workout in the afternoons. Main concern is if I fast on morning workout days I'm not refueling and will lose gains. I do have collagen protein but no carb consumption post workout is concerning. I potentially could do bpc + collagen protein pre-workout which would be a good fat+protein combo for crossfit, then post workout take in carbs/protein but this obv is not intermittent fasting.
If anyone has thoughts on how this would work best please chime in. thanks

Optimal is to only fast on non training days, what you were doing previously is optimal for crossfit (pre/post carbs and protein with no fat). For me, I do a pre/post before my am and pm sessions (I do 2 sessions/day), I will have a bp coffee about an hour or so after the post meal for no reason other than I like it.
