Hi there!
I'm a 20 year old female (height - 152cm / 5'0" ; weight - 38.5kg / 85lbs) with *very little* muscle and i'm going to be starting a 4 month at home muscle building plan soon (it's the lean building plan from The Team Plans by Abby Pollock if anyone wants to know). The aim is purely to build shape with a decent amount of muscle (nothing crazy) and not gain or lose any fat. The plan consists of 4 'full body' workouts per week, each workout lasting no more than 60 mins including warming up (more like 40 mins from what I can tell). As an example, one of the workouts consists of hip thrusts, pull overs, split squats, overhead press, romanian deadlift and bent over rows - all weighted with dumbbells.
Anyway, to the point - I prefer to workout soon after waking up in the morning which makes the 'pre-workout meal' thing a little trickier. According to websites like healthline (which I like as they tend to be very science-based and provide links to studies etc), the best thing is to eat 'mainly simple carbs' and 'some protein' (no fat) 30-60 mins before. This is pretty vague to me haha so my question is whether a 150g serving of low fat greek style honey yogurt which has 110 kcals, 17g carbs (all sugar) and 10g protein would be a good option and if so, whether 30 mins before would be long enough or if i should wait a full hour before the workout?
Thanks so much for reading and helping out this noob! :D
Btw i'm (obviously) completely new to here haha so I'm so sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong place or just somehow being annoying! Please be kind though hehe :)
