    I have half of a chocolate whey protein shake on the way there, the other half on the way home. Then breakfast.

    My morning workout is always a run, so I eat nothing. I'll get a wicked side cramp if I eat or drink anything. I run on empty and refuel when I get to where I'm going.

    I always have a protein shake when I first get up - Optimum Nutrition is my favorite brand.

    i normally eat something small like a serving of malt-o-meal with 1.5% milk or a banana, or both if im super hungry but normally just one or the other =)

    I usually do a protein shake with fruit and workout about a half hour later. I make my shake by blending 1 cup skim milk, with a scoop of whey powder (usually chocolate), and 1/2 cup of berries. Post workout I have a cup of fruit with a cup of greek yogurt and a touch of honey for flavor.

    I took a nutrition class in college and i learned that its best to eat a small amount of food that is about 50/50 carbs and protein. (like toast and a cheese stick). The carbs feed into the cycle that feeds your muscles and will help you stay moving longer. The protein will help muscle building and keep you full. Trust me, it works. I have tried not eating anything and eating a small meal or snack, and it makes a world of difference. Try it once, and trust me you'll do it all the time! :) I also drink coffee too, and some studies show that caffeine helps too.

    I need to eat something in the mornings/ Coffee and water ALWAYS start my day. Then usually I have whole wheat extra fiber toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Sometimes I add half a banana on top of toast. This is my norm, but eggs and oatmeal get thrown in the mix occasionally.
