SaraTonin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I am a runner and I usually run very early in the morning so I do not eat before. Now I feel like at the gym I am doin alot more than running at my own pace and need some fuel. What's good to eat before a work out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas_Weir Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Fruit, lean protein (usually limit fats here as they require your body to work harder on digesting it). Some meal ideas: Homemade Hummus and crackers jam on toast a couple of apples, bananas or any other fruit that you like. a protein shake A glass of low fat vanilla/chocolate soy milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarakD. Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I go for: handfull of Almonds & dried fruit. Homemade Hummus sounds like a great option too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragekill15 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I usually do a smoothie in the morning along with a bowl of oatmeal, but sometimes just the smoothie. - 1 orange- 1 banana- 1 serving hemp protein- 1 serving rice protein- Water orange juice or milk substitute to taste It's pretty tasty and quick and easy especially if you don't feel like eating a meal first thing in the morning.

SaraTonin Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Good ideas!! Thanks guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awaken375 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 vega endurance bars, or energy gel if you can afford.mainly because their main ingredient is dates. you mostly just need a large supply of glucose, which dates contain in large amounts. it wouldn't hurt to have some complex carbs (glucose=simple carb) in addition, because they are for cardiovascular energy so eat some bread or rice or potatoes also.i think goji berries are a good source of simple carbs too..everybody so far has the right idea, fruit & toast or whatever. i just wanted to add that dates are the best fruit. bring some to replenish after 60 minutes.

travelsofsarah Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi there What would a vegan protein shake consist of? I'm a raw vegan but I am pretty curious <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragekill15 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I usually just take an orange and a banana (peeled of course) and blend them with a vegetable protein powder. I have been using rice, pea and hemp protein. Some brands also make shake mixes like Vega, Jarrow Formulas and Natural Factors which contain a mix of proteins and are usually flavored and sweetened.
