So this morning I was at the gym by 8 and that seemed to be perfect for me and my kids and my day so I'm going to try and stick to that on gym days. My question is, when should I eat my breakfast meal? i typically do egg whites (god i love eggs) and some sort of omelet but I dont like to eat that much before working out. Should I be eating some protein before working out? Thoughts suggestions? Thanks.

    I also go to the gym around 8 and I dont eat untill I get back and I have been making protien shakes that I add various things (fruits,greek yogurt, oatmeal etc) to to fill me up. Then I have a snack around 10.

    That early I would eat something. Maybe and apple or banana would be good.

    Thanks! All I had was coffee before and while I wasn't starving after I didn't eat until 10! If I had to run errands it would've been much later! I'll need to start keeping a power bar or something in my bag in case I need to run errands or something after :)
