[Jason X]

varies. clif bar. a couple oz of berries. maybe a bolthouse farms "juice". something small yet nutritious.

[Ducati]

I make ice cream with pea/hemp/soy protein frozen bananas and maybe strawberries or blueberries, or chocolate rice protein. I throw in some spinach and other greens along with some liquid B12. Sometimes, I throw in a few drops of vanilla.

 

It is also my favorite after workout food:)

Yes! YUM! Frozen banana slices in a food processor blend up into something that very closely resembles soft serve ice cream but without all the crap. I like to put in some frozen blueberries and some hemp powder.

I'm still experimenting what works best for me, I've tried banana & cup soy milk, green/fruit smoothies with hemp seed hearts; problem is mid workout I'd get very hungry and would want to rush threw my exercises. I didn't have protein powder at the time so don't know if that'll help if I mixed it in my milk/smoothies now.

Tonight gonna try pasta topped with lentils.

You get hungry during workouts? I completely lose my appetite when working out. Working out helps me to not eat.

[VelvetVoices]

I eat something at 3:00pm, ride my bike home at 4:00pm, eat something before my workout then around 5:00pm or 6:00pm I workout; 45mins into lifting weights I'm hungry most of the time.

Man I wish I could lose my appetite when I work out

[mtguy1976]

I usually workout in the morning (5am), so I'm usually starving. Like Ducati said, I lose my appetite during the workout, so I have something small to get in my stomach then eat afterwards. Most of the time, its a couple of dates with peanut or almond butter for my more intense workouts (running, plyo's). If its more a strength workout, I can get away with half of my protein drink before the workout and then finish it up afterwards. Its all experimenting.

I love papaya's

[lobsteriffic]

Most days I do cardio in the morning and don't eat anything beforehand. If I'm doing a long run (over 7 miles or so) or bike (over 30 miles) I'll have a banana or two.

[TFrasier73]

I have an apple or pear and 15-20 oz water or green tea. My workouts are generally around 7:00 a.m., but I cannot workout without SOMETHING in my stomach. If I don't have an apple or pear, I have one slice of flaxseed bread with natural peanut butter, then have my protein shake after my workout.

[Baby Hercules]

One fresh, squishy mango

One sugary, ripe banana

14 frozen strawberries

3 T. coconut milk

1 scoop vanilla GENUINE HEALTH Vegan Proteins+

 

Blend and slurp. It smells and tastes a bit like Hawaiian Punch, no kidding.

any protein and carb food in small portion: lentils, bananas, homemade soymilk and fruit shake, etc. I usually eat about 2 hours before exercising because my workouts are pretty intense, so if I eat later I start "feeling" my meal just a few minutes into the workout
