Looking for variation to my diet? What's your favorite pre and post workout meal? I work out very early in the morning so something quick and convenient would be helpful!

    I also workout very early (and have zero hunger during daytime hours) so I eat breakfast primarily because I take prescription meds.

    I eat Kashi Berryful (shredded wheat with fruit inside) every morning. Topped with raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. I also have 2 cups of coffee with a bit of milk. The only "slow" part is cutting and washing berries. I don't like "prep" so I just get up a half hour earlier to make/eat it before getting ready for the gym.

    Post workout is whatever my significant other is cooking for dinner that night. I typically eat 2x daily.

    For the morning workouts two microwaved eggs, two turkey sausage patties and one slice of wholegrain toast with two cups of coffee.

    I workout at 4 AM. Usually just have water with cinnamon and lemon before and after my workout. For breakfast later on around 7 or 8, I'll have a smoothie, eggs and low calorie wheat bread.

    Breakfast after my morning rides...dinner after my evening lifting sessions. If I'm on a long ride, I usually suck on a couple of jolly ranchers.
