    I've made a post in the food and nutrition about coconut water....very good reviews for post workout recovery. I tried it tonight and it worked a treat. I try to have a banana before but today was too early at 3 and worked out at 6 so had a few slurps of the coconut water at boxing and I was on fire tonight. Still bubbling over with energy and its half 11 here in uk.

    Give it a try

    Fat free Greek yogurt does the trick for me. A high protein fat free snack that gives me fuel for the workout, but the protein digests slowly so I'm not starving after. Also rehydrate yourself after your workout. The water rehydrates and fills your stomach temporarily while you're cooking dinner, so you feel full and don't stuff your face while your cooking.

    I'm gonna try this too ...thanks very much

    Thank you everyone! These are great suggestions. Last night I tried a Glucerna snack shake before my workout and it seemed to help. I also called home and had someone get dinner started...if only I could do that every night! I may need to cut back on my metformin because I do seem to have more sugar lows than normal since I started dieting and exercise. I do appreciate your comments, I love myfitnesspal!
