I was thinking some almonds, and dairy?? but I want some thoughts on what everyone else does?? I have Kickboxing this evening, its late, ends around 8:45pm, so I don't want to eat anything heavy after....

    just a well balanced meal. protein/carbs/fats.
    you're gonna want some energy.

    still wouldn't hurt to have something to eat after if you've got room.
  • crackers and peanut butter or crackers and cheese :smile:

    To Deanadimples - Like your signature!! :):laugh:
  • For cardio worout, a cup of strong coffee, 30 min prior to workout. If I am using weights, a protein bar/shake or even a PB/jelly sandwitch on low carb wheat bread with 40 cals.
  • I like to have half a peanut butter sandwich or some tuna. I tend to drink water or gatorade before and throughout my workout. Not too much, but something that satisfies and provides protein and energy. I feel sick and can't get the full experience if I don't eat enough before I work out.

    Peanut Butter on toast or celery. I also like turkey and cheese rolls (2) with a small spread of honey dijon mustard. (Choose a low-fat cheese, low-sodium turkey). Yummy!
