What are Proats?

Proats = Protein + Oats.

I've been experimenting as of late with different types of meals before training along with training fasted to gauge how much of a difference it really does make along with which foods the body tends to respond best to. For my body I have found proats to be the winning formula, this comes down to the macronutrients of proats.

A small portion of protein and carbohydrates in the form of proats provides me with the energy and endurance to get through my heavy lifting sessions.

I have found cardio and fasting to be a winning combination, but when it comes to the weights a pre workout meal does seem to make a reasonable difference, I recommend proats as your first meal of the day or pre workout meal.

Here are my favourite...

I’m SJ. I’m a fitness enthusiast and published author. I transformed my body from a skinny fat 135lbs with 18% body fat to a solid 192lbs at 8% body fat. I became qualified in a field I was passionate about. I founded several online businesses that allow me to pursue ideas and projects in my life that I am passionate about without having to constantly worry about money. I published several eBooks explaining the training and dieting techniques I used to achieve the body I have today. I learnt a plethora of new information on dieting and fitness by reading and applying what I read, to find out what does work and what doesn’t work, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed the health and fitness industry is full of non-sense claims and BS. I found out what was true and what worked for me and applied that knowledge. And you bet I had fun during the whole process.
