    If I feel low on energy then ill have a fruit before I workout. I always try to get some protein in after though

    I always have a small something after a workout...about 30min to an hour after a workout. If I eat before a workout I wait about 45 min to do my workout...

    banana's are fantastic pre-workout foods, a great source of energy! Banana 30min-ish before and almonds within half an hour after. YUM

    Peanut butter and jelly sandwich before cycling and I take a Nutri-grain bar with me.
