My Favorite Pre-Workout Snack
|
|
I love working out in the morning. Not so much the waking up early... but the being done early! I love feeling accomplished so early in the day, and getting exercise first thing also assures that I can't blow my workout off for happy hour or dinner with friends later on.
Even if I'm getting up really early, I still like to have a little something in my stomach before working out. Lately, my pre-workout fuel of choice has been a small piece of toasted whole wheat bread with a thin smear of almond butter. Delicious, and the perfect combination of carbs, protein, and fat to get me going without weighing me down!
What's your favorite pre-workout snack? Are you a morning or afternoon exerciser?

It sounds like eating dinner so late might be the problem - any chance you can bump it up? That would help with being hungrier in the a.m. And if you're hungry by 10 a.m. even after a good breakfast - and you should be if you get up that early! - have a small snack! :) No shame. Mid morning snacks are the best.
I love almond butter! Super delicious.
I am also an early riser (suuuuper early, 4:45 actually) but I can't eat anything before I workout. It makes me sick (which is weird, because back in college I could have a pizza before practice!).
Instead, I slurp few sips of gatorade or water, and make sure that I am fully hydrated when I am done. Then I have breakfast - usually a piece of fruit with oatmeal or a protein shake. I tend to eat dinner late at night, so I feel like I have a decent routine, even if it's not the healthiest.
Only thing is, around 10am I am super hungry again. I try and delay eating my breakfast, but usually cave in. Any thoughts on how I can get a better diet plan?
