Feel like throwing up mid-workout

[bpaynecos]

I am on day 16. I have struggled with workouts from the beginning, though it has gotten easier.

 

But I still feel like I am going to throw up in the middle of the workout.

 

My pre workout meal today was half a handful of cashews and half a hardboiled egg. I ate it 45 min before the beginning of my workout.

 

Should I give more time? Eat it a full hour or more before?

 

Help!

Try having 1 hard boiled egg instead, an hour before, and see if you tolerate that better.

Chris- do you mean I should delete the cashews, and then move meal time to one hour prior? Thanks!

[GFChris]

Yes: delete the cashews and have the hard boiled egg 1 hour before your workout.

Pre-workout meals are the most variable of them all. I can finish chewing on my way into a squat rack and do fine most days. Some people need more than an hour to digest. It is totally okay to experiment with timing and what you eat.

 

Nuts are often troubling to the gut, so anyone with a sensitive stomach does well to eliminate them from the pre-workout meal.

This is great to know. I definitely have a sensitive stomach, always have. I'll stick to one hardboiled egg an hour before my workout.

 

Thanks all!

Drink plenty of water! Every day. It's hard to hurry and drink a ton of water, your body needs to be hydrated at all time. i know for me in the past, I felt sick on days that I didn't drink enough water the day before.
