I usually just eat a banana on my way over to the gym0
-
I drink a cup of coffee. I choose to eat the banana post workout but that's a personal preference.0
-
About an 30-60min before, espresso and a snack (usually cereal or something carby) then right before/during/after I eat candy0
-
A.M.-Coffee n peanut butter on toast, cause I need some carbs to get going. P.M.- Cottage cheese or boiled egg, cause I've had plenty of carbs by now.0
-
Iced coffee with a scoop of protein. Maybe an apple.0
-
Breakfast, lunch, dinner or nothing at all.0
-
A couple cups of coffee before the gym or run in the mornings. I hate working out in the afternoons, so if I have to, I need something like iced coffee or a Monster Zero.0
-
Just coffee if its an am workout. Food doesn't seem to help any and slows down the caffeine uptake. Eat normally if its any other time but no more than a small snack within 60-90 minutes if its heavy cardio like martial arts.
A turkey havarti avacado sandwich on a bagel is my go-to before LONG cardio like a belt test (5 hours of fighting) or a Spartan run or something.0 -
Depends on the day. Sometimes nothing, sometimes a full breakfast (eggs, oats, coffee, fruit/veg, etc.)0
-
Usually, I will skip the pre-workout meal and just have a cup of joe.
After a heavier lifting session, I will make a few skittle burgers on the way out of the gym --

Rice cracker with peanut butter before the gym

Pre workout: Protein shake with milk + jelly beans.
Post workout: Dinner1 -
Whole wheat crisp with peanut butter and some slices of banana, or yogurt with berries and flax0
-
Pineapple or a nice big orange. I am always starving when I finish and ready for lunch0
-
I have a snack around 3:00, usually a Monster and a protein bar, hit the gym after work around 5:30, dinner around 8:00.0
-
protein bar and a cheese stick0

wow... so much caffeine. I find it makes me feel weaker and exhausted before a workout.
I tend to have a "meal replacement" type shake about an hour before a workout. Seems to cover all the bases.
If I don't have something ready... I'll make a shake with the following:
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water
4 spoons of oatmeal
1 or 2 scoops of flavoured protein (strawberry, vanilla or chocolate) (usually 2 if it's a morning workout)
1/2 teaspoon of glucomannan powder (bulks and thickens the shake so I feel fuller)
Whiz it up and drink it down.
It's about 500 calories. The meal replacement is about 400 if you have it with milk.0 -
I eat some fruit before I leave work, and sometimes a twizzler before I leave for the gym.0
-
I just eat a spoon full of either peanut butter sesame seed butter or almond butter. Quick fun protein to help me run. I usually do my spoon with some* type of caffeine- usually a pre workout mix but if I don't have one then I'll use coffee0
-
Something carby - if morning fruit or half a bagel. In the evening whatever I have on my meal plan that day with at least 30g of carbs. Weather it's morn or eve I alway have coffe as well.0
