I work out in the early morning, but usually, after an hour or so, my sweat has an ammonia quality. My understanding is that this is a byproduct of protein (read, muscle) being broken down for fuel. Definitely not an ideal situation.
My problem is that 5AM is pretty much the only time I have to train. I eat a carb-rich oatmeal breakfast and try to wait 15-20 minutes before beginning, but it would seem I'm not supplying enough glycogen to the muscles.
Any recommendations? Should I try high-sugar foods at night? Drink a ton of Gatorade at breakfast? Ignore it?
