GFChris Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Welcome back! Do you have a copy of the meal template? You breakfast is missing vegetables, and your pre and post wo snacks should not include fruit. Pre wo is protein and fat. Post wo is protein and veg.

tara.liveeatlove Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been a difficulty for me lately! 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
