Islandgrl35 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I started the Whole30 Program 9 days ago! I also joined a morning bootcamp on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday at 6:50am for an hour. I used to have some oatmeal with fruit 30 - 45mins before the bootcamp. What can I eat now? I need something because the workout is a lot of cardio and using your own body weight. HELP? Suggestions? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Welcome! The recommended preWO on a Whole30 is protein and optional fat. Many folks go for a hard-boiled egg. If you search the Whole30 for athletes forum, you'll get lots of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted May 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2014 Islandgrl, Print out the meal template or save it where you can reference it often. It took me awhile to remember all the components of Pre and Post WO and the fat amounts -- this template was a lifesaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnF Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I do a HB egg and a cup of coffee with a little coconut milk before my Saturday AM runs. So far, that seems to be okay with my stomach! I'm still not fat adapted, so I don't feel 100% awesome on my runs yet, but I haven't had tummy troubles with that pre-WO meal. I've heard others say they do a banana with almond butter, but the template for pre-WO meals doesn't include fruit so I think that would be "enter at your own risk" territory.

Surfista Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 How about a handful of shredded coconut and almonds? That worked for me the other day. The idea of anything meaty before a work out makes me sick just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WholeStanley Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I tend to have a hard boiled egg, a couple of prawns (quickly defrosted from the freezer) and a couple of cashews/almonds/macadamia nuts - this is easy and quick for me to put together and through trial and error i've found out this works best for me (p.s. when I say a couple i literally mean 2-4) If I don't have any eggs hard boiled I will sometimes replace with tinned sardines, or any ground meat I have left in the fridge, and if I've had too many nuts recently I'll replace them with a couple of bites of avocado In my experience PreWO is quite personal, and takes a bit of trial and error to work out what is best of you - and this can vary depending on the workout and time of day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorah Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I have either eggs and avacado or red meat and nut butter approx an hour before I work out. I work out at 6am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
