I need to eat around 3000 calories per day to support my powerlifting training, and if I don&#x27;t eat something first thing in the morning with a shitload of carbs -- usually something like rolled oats, berries, and a few bananas -- then I&#x27;m usually gassed and feeling like crap by 10.<p>A few friends of mine fast intermittently and train in the morning before eating but it&#x27;s beyond me how that is not just pure torture.
