    I CrossFit at 6am each morning, which means getting up a 5am to get ready, so at that time I'm not interested in eating much. My current regiment is to just drink a protein shake right when I wake up. I take a pre-workout right before I leave for the box and I'm good to go. Since this is what I've gotten used to, even if I have to adjust and workout in the evening, or later morning on the weekends, I stick to what I know works. In the past I've done yogurt, banana, protein bar, small piece of chicken, etc. but a shake is just so easy and then I don't have to think about getting protein and carbs.

    Sounds great. I've tried just a coffee it worked at the work but wore off now. Thanks.

    I'm on the same schedule....coffee and protein bar usually. Shake and eggs with salsa and avocado afterwords.

    I'm at the box at 5 a.m...I literally wake up, pee, get dressed, brush teeth, and go. I've tried lifting/running/WODing after eating and it makes me sick to my stomach.

    Try Vitargo if you don't feel you can eat before a WOD. If I have an hour or two, I will try to get in 50 g of starchy carbs, usually a spotty banana with old fashioned oatmeal.

    Add me as a friend, looking for more cross fitter friends ;) ! If I go early in the morning I do coffee with liquid protien in it (I have used rumble brand and also a milk based one). I prefer one in liquid form over powder in my coffee.
    If I am going to a later class I usually have egg whites with veggie or protien pancakes several hours before. And then coffee or zipfrizz for the preworkout.
