    I usually eat carbs before and protein after.

    I like to eat my fruit for the day before my workout - I get carbs and natural sugar from that, so working out is countering the spike of insulin from that.

    Post workout, I do protein and veggies, usually for dinner. I try to pack as much protein as I can at that point, which is tough for me since I'm not a huge meat-eater.

    It's been working well so far!

    I like eating a banana with 1 tbsp peanut butter smeared on it... no matter if I workout in the am or pm... stops and hunger pains but isn't filling and give you a good boost of energy to get through the workout.

    a carbohydrate+protein combo is the best.... anything from cheese...string cheese, cottage cheese..., whole wheat bread/lean meat/eggs/ peanut butter over apple slices .....are all good...make it into a 100-150 calorie snack
