Pre/post workouot

[miaeit]

Im starting the paleo challenge tomorrow, and I am a bit confused about what I should eat pre and post workout. 
I´ve read the meal planning plan and understands how much of this and that I should include in pre/post workout meals, but I just need some examples of things to eat in these meals.

I usually work out 5 times a week, and my main focus is strength training

Have you got the meal template? It outlines pre and post WO meals and suggested quantities-

I usually go HB egg/s pre, and chicken breast with sweet potato post

Are most all of the Winter Squashes intererchangable for our post?

I bought some very fun squash at farmers market yesterday - don't remember what they're called now LOL they had so many wonderful types!!

Yes, most winter squashes will work. Summer squash, not so much

I have a couple questions about meal timing for my situation.  I Crossfit 4 to 5 days a week at 5 PM and since starting whole 30 last week have been doing sprints on either a rower or stationary bike first thing in the morning with only a cup of coffee or two. My goal is to lean up and attempt not to lose much strength/muscle in the process.  The morning sprints feel good with no food but likely because I am getting in some sweet potato after my Crossfit wod the night before.  

 

1. Should I "refill" with a starchy carb post morning sprints to fuel my late afternoon wod? If not what should this meal look like?  

2. If leaning out is my goal should I keep my total carbs under 150 gr a day mostly post wo?
