Thanks for the feed back! 

 

I do have the meal planning template. 

I've had trouble incorporating vegetables into my first meal of the day.

This morning, I did include some fruit with breakfast. I'll work on it!

 

As far as PreWO and PostWO -- I figured it was such a small amount of fruit that it didn't really add anything. The banana was literally a bite from the one my husband was eating. Same with the strawberries -- he had a bowl and I sneaked a few from him!

 

Any suggestions or examples of pre and post WO meals?

 

Also, If I work out in the evening -- how long do you think I should wait between post WO meal and dinner? It's hard to get it all in, but I know I need the extra meal after a work out. That has been a difficulty for me lately!

 

Any tips or advice are welcomed!!

hi tara :)

 

your preWO should be fat/protein - what you had today minus the banana was fine!

you could also have a couple of HB eggs, a tin of fish in oil, or like you did today, meat with nut butter/avo.

some people have coffee preWO - you could have some protein, and add coconut milk or coconut oil or ghee to that.

 

postWO should be lean protein (normal meal sized portion) with carbs - starchy vegies are recommended. things like sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot, carrots etc. I go for chicken breast and sweet potato - just throw a few chunks of cooked vegies in a container alongside your protein! I have also made postWO slice/muffin with grated vegies, chicken breast mince, egg whites and herbs and spices. I combined everything, and baked in trays or muffin tins.

 

I usually have postWO on the way home from the gym, then prepare dinner when I get home. there is generally about 45/60 minutes between leaving the gym and having a proper dinner.

Amber - that was SO helpful!! I especially love the idea of adding coconut milk to my coffee - which I sometimes have before the gym anyways! What an easy way to add a quick serving of fat!

 

Tomorrow I'll incorporate your advice :-) Thank you!!
