What's your pre workout meal and snack?
Mine is usually the following:
2hrs before: Yoghurt and nuts or protein bar
30mins before: Tuna or protein bar or a fruit

Don't have any. I don't think they're necessary at all unless you're a bodybuilder or an athlete... I just eat when I'm hungry.0

I usually eat a PB sandwich or a banana with PB on it. I workout at 5am so i am not really hungry that early for much else. Sometimes a protein bar0

Protein shake made with almond milk & Quaker pop chips pre workout. Post work varies from the same as my pre workout to chicken with veggies, depends on my day.0

I practice yoga and run. I never eat before either of these things because I do them first thing in the morning after I wake up... However, if I worked out in the evening I would not eat anything 2 hours prior the work out... But 2 hours prior I would have pickles, cucumbers and cheese, or walnuts and an apple. Protein and carb whole food combos.0

Usually some candy right before or during my lifting session0

Depends on the day. If it's a weight lifting day I'll eat some cheese and crackers or a banana just to give me some carbs to burn and keep my energy up. On Cardio days I have Krav Maga classes in the evening so I switch up my eating schedule on those days. I cannot do that class with a heavy belly (learned the hard way) so I eat alot earlier in those days and just do a nutritional shake a couple of hours before class.0

whatever I ate for breakfast. I do enjoy a post workout smoothie. Just because it's so yummy and I'm hungry after working out...0

Grilled chicken breast and Lucky Charms.0

I've been swimming and doing water aerobics in the morning before I eat anything. I don't think you really need a pre-workout meal with the level of exercise I'm getting, unless you really are undereating for the rest of the day.0

I usually take a scoop of protein, what's left of the morning coffee and some ice. Shake it up...great tasty little pick me up.0

for most workouts, I don't find anything out of the ordinary to be necessary. I usually have an afternoon snack around 4:30 or so and I hit the gym on the way home a couple days per week at around 5:45-6:00. I have my snack regardless of whether I'm going to the gym or not.
I do a lot of my cycling during my lunch break plus my extra 30 minutes of physical fitness leave...I don't eat anything except breakfast usually in the morning and then I have lunch at my desk when I get back from my ride.0 -
generally it tends to be a quest protein bar.0
