Carie Skeahan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Curious, what is a Tech MMA Class? Is that your physical activity for the day? If so, did you eat before and/or after? If your class is what I think it is, I am concerned about the amount, or lack thereof, to support your activity level. As Tom says above…don't be afraid to eat more.

If your class is what I think it is, I am concerned about the amount, or lack thereof, to support your activity level. As Tom says above…don't be afraid to eat more. Tech MMA is basically an hour long bootcamp class. I rotating that with Crossfit for a month but I normally do Crossfit at that time 3 days a week. I eat as soon as I get home (usually 15 minutes after class). I do think I should eat more but all the go-to foods that I am used to (chips, chocolate) are taboo now. So I am having a hard time with that. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carie Skeahan Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 For pre-work out, include a small amount of protein (1/2 a meal size or smaller), and (optionally) a small amount of fat (1/2 a meal size or smaller). Do not add fruit or carb-dense veggies to your pre-workout snack. When you train first thing in the morning, something is better than nothing. I workout in the evening and I eat about an hour before I do. My pre-workout snack usually consists of whatever protein I had for lunch and some avocado or some olives. Since you workout in the morning, you could have some leftover protein from the night before or a hardboiled egg or two. I opened the question of early morning pre-workout meal to a few of the athletes at my gym and the answers were all over the board. Some eat big at night, their WODs seem fine (they are not dizzy or too exhausted to continue) so they don't pre-WOD snack. Some like hard boiled eggs and/or some Applegate sausage before...just a bit of fat and protein, but not much. For post-workout, take it with you to the gym and eat it before you leave. Do not wait until you get home. Try a meal sized easily digestible protein, up to a fist-sized portion of carb-dense veggies and little to no fat. Do not use fruit as your primary post-workout carb source, but rather choose sweet potato or yams or squash or pumpkin or beets. Your post-workout meal is a bonus meal and should not replace breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is designed to help you recover from a high intensity workout. I like to bring leftover protein from lunch, which is usually leftover protein from dinner the night before and a yam or sweet potato. Take a look in the Whole30 For Athletes section of the Forum and see what works for others. I also believe this will take some tinkering on your part, perhaps start with a hardboiled egg or two in the morning, then adjust. In general, snacks (other than pre/post workout) are just mini meals. Protein, fat and veggies. Perhaps, when you are making dinner, make a bunch so that you have enough for snacks (if needed) the next day. Hope this helps… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Jeanne Penrod Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I seem to have the same problem at night after dinner and wanting a snack because I ate dinner as my post workout snack. I would say add some fat to it, like some almonds, just so your not just eating fruit alone and creating sugar cravings. Just a suggestion. I'd like to find a way to not have a snack after dinner. Ugh. It's tough sometimes though when I've worked out hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 You are doing great on your nutrition and I think you have a much better handle on it than I do!! How are you feeling? What about weight loss? I know we are not supposed to be even looking at that but of course I can't help it and stepped on the scale - only 5lbs- really?!?!? Certainly feel great and sleep wonderful so there are changes happening. Day 16 - we are on the downhill slide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
