I have started working out @ 6am before work and struggle as to what to eat before and after my workouts. I have been drinking a MR shake before but what should I eat after? Protien, Carb? Thoughts?

I actually don't eat anything before my workouts. You want something with protein after your workout.
Some ideas:
Protein Shake w/ fruit
Oatmeal w/ banana and peanut butter
Egg whites w/ veggies and reduced fat cheese (on whole grain sandwich thin or english muffin if you need it on the go)
Oatmeal pancake (1/2 cup oatmeal, 2-3 egg whites, pinch of baking soda, pinch of salt, cinnamon and vanilla to taste - mix together and cook like a pancake --- top with microwaved frozen mixed berries)0 -
I usually eat Greek yogurt with ground flaxseed and mixed fruits before my workouts so that I'll have energy, especially in the morning. Afterwards, I'll take a whey protein shake with almond milk mixed in with frozen bananas. You should take in protein + carbs within 30 mins after you workout.0
