If its cardio or weights you are doing you need some form of carb - cereal, slice of tast, cereal bar.

Afterwards, protein shake and a serving or carbs. Now it the time to have high GI carb like white bread as your body is still burning kcals and the glucose will go straight to your muscles aiding in the growth and repiar process along with the protein.

With a 3 yr old I don't normally get to bed before 9:00. Then I have to wake up at 4:00 to get my 3.5-4 miles in so I dont' have morning energy in any abundance. I generally drink 1/2 a serving of a pre workout energy drink because they are real powerful. Then on my way to work after my run I eat one of those Power bar Triple threat meal bars. They are actually good, not the traditional power bar of stiff goo. more like a cookie-ish bar. 220-240 calories and I actually find them to be good.
