Healthy, Substantial Snack before Workout

CJforMe

I would like to workout right after I get home from work, before dinner. But I'm having an issue with being really hungry at that time. Does anybody have a suggestion of a healthy snack I could eat around 5, so that I don't get light-headed or feel sick while I'm working out?
Thanks!

Our boot camp trainer always recommends eating half a protein bar 30 minutes before our 5:30am workout.

Depends on how many calories you need or want, and how many you are likely to burn. Peanut butter sandwich on wholemeal bread does it for me (for a 5 mile run anyway).

Peanut Butter Sandwich on whole wheat for me!

I often go with half a wheat bagel thin with almond butter. That way, you get carbs and proteing to fuel the workout, but don't blow your calorie count out of the water.

single scoop protein shake and half a cliff bar

A small banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter. That gives you carbs, protein and fat. Don't forget to hydrate as well. :-)

I eat 1 Slice of Multigrain bread and a chobani yogurt.

I bought these 100 calorie sandwich thins that I'll sometimes have with some cheese. Or an apple, necarine, banana. All low calorie.
