    1/2 protein bar, and the other half right after the workout, or string cheese.

    A piece of 45 calorie bread with 1/2 tbsp of pb on it

    I eat ONE no-bake almond butter oatmeal ball. Made of oats, almond butter, honey, almond chunks, flax meal. I add cacao nibs too, but that's pretty optional, I just love the extra crunch. It's too small amount of food to make me wanna york while working out -- it's only the size of a golf ball or smaller. But it's 150 calories of slow-release nourishing goodness, which is just enough to get me through my workout.

    The recipe was on the MPF blog a couple of months ago, though their recipe was peanut-butter based instead of almond butter, and I'm sure would be similar in its effectiveness.

    Usually a green smoothie, protein bar or shake, or a bowl of oatmeal depending on what workout I'm doing and how soon after I eat I'm doing it.

    I run and do metafit first thing in the morning and can't tolerate food before either. I eat an extra slice of toast before bed the night before (around 10pm) with a piece of ham for protein and that seems to keep me going.

    Nothing. I drink a protein shake right after though.

    i have a cup of green tea (i'm not a coffee drinker) and a couple of crackers. it's usually too early in the morning to have much more than that.
