Default Extended workout sessions and mid-session nutrition.

Ok, if I've got 3 hrs to work out (meaning a lifting session, cardio session, and a sauna) what should I bring for mid-workout nutrition? I've got my PWO shake down pat, but I'm not sure what I should fix up to have mid-workout. I obviously want to keep my energy up, but I don't really have a problem in that department. I'm more concerned with my metabolism, or more accuartely, WHAT I'm metabolizing. I guess I should point out that I work out after my first meal of the day and I would like to optimize my ability to burn fat. I'm 6'0, 195 and I'm guessing I'm around a 15-18% BF.

I sip on aminos dilluted in water mid way through.

Break down your workout for us. If it's something like:

1.5 hours lifting
1 hour cardio
.5 hours sauna

I would continue with standard pre-workout nutrition and then have a BCAA shake right when you are done lifting and before cardio. After cardio, I'd take another BCAA shake and follow up with Window of Opportunity post workout protocol while in the sauna.

If you can figure it in your schedule, I'd recommend two separate workouts.

Funny... that's almost the exact breakdown, though I only sauna for about 15-20 min. and the other ten is give or take. Anyway, thanks for the advice!
