Hello,

I finish work at 3pm and have a step class at 5:30pm...I am not sure what I should eat between this time as I have my last snack at work around 1 - 2pm...

Should I just go without the snack? Or eat?

I don't like working out on empty as I get lethargic....

Help please

    good question its a toughie

    I would have an apple and a few almonds or something. Something light and not toooo much protein or toooooo much fiber as they may take longer to digest.

    even a good quality juice or smoothie or something might be good

    depends on your digestion etc. cottage cheese w nuts is nice. you can buy single serve containers (of the cc)

    You don't want anything that will sit in your stomach or anything that will slush around. How about half a protein bar? Half a tub of yoghurt?

    I hope you get some good suggestions because I wasn't really of much help :laugh:

    Ha ha thanks everyone! How about a hand full of pistachios and a pear? Would that be sustainable enough for an hour long work out class?

    Bananas are a great pre-workout snack as they are pretty high in carbs = energy.

    Personally in that scenario I will go for a handle of almonds, and maybe an apple.
