Peanut butter and turkey seems to be recommended a lot (hopefully not together though...ewww). I eat a banana about 30 mins before hitting the gym and have a small brown turkey sandwich after.
What/when do you eat before working out

When I'm doing kettlebells I usually do them before breakfast & manage ok but when I'm running I usually go out about 5pm so have a yoghurt & an alpen light at 3.30pm to tide me over. When I tried running without having anything I ended up feeling a bit faint. On the otherhand if I eat after 3.30pm I end up feeling sick so its quite a small window to have a snack

Hi sweet, I am like you in that the eating window is quite small, and coming home from work, walking the dog then grabbing food can be a tad hectic luckily I got home early today, didn't have to walk the dog, so had some homemade soup, which will have time to settle before I go swinging

Hi gina is that one of those energy type drinks, as if you need more energy your the future of uks energy crisis I think a girl on wed class has this, not sure if it's the same one it's in a bottle. Don't know if it would be counter productive for me if it's high in sugar as I like a calorie deficit as I only workout about 2 hours a week, your workout time is phenomenal so I can see you need the fuel, my goodness you can burn over 3000 cals mind blowing !!!!!!!

yeah an energy drink, its about 250 cals per 500ml can, quite high but it works. water doesnt do much but hydrates me, i always need a high sugar fix if its a harder workout. todays was thats for sure....
there is a low carb versian of it too, havent tried it though. think theres only around 25 cals per 500ml can in that one.
