Marian Meldrins Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi, I've just started the Whole30 ( Day 3) , and I'm also training for a marathon, yesterday while I was training I was feeling really hungry and started to feel very dizzy, like when you need food. Would it be ok to have a snack like 1 apple and some cashews before training? or Should i schedule my meals different? I wake up 6.30 and have a good breakfast, 4 egg whites, 1/2 tin of canned tuna, 1 cup of broccoli, spinach and peppers, and 5 strawberries. Then go to work ( office work) Lunch 1 pm, 1 baked cod fillet, 1 sweet potato, tomato, carrot and apple 5.30 pm training. 40 mins yoga 1hr 45 mins spinning Walk home 3 km Dinner 9pm: Green Thai curry Prawns, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and condiments + coconut milk. My training these days is either long spinning classes, or long 15/ 20 km runs, some swimming and some boxing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 have you read "It starts with food"? It explains a LOT. One thing in the book is a recommendation for both a "pre-workout" and a "post-workout" snack. you want protein and fat (no carbs) before the workout, protein and carbs (no fat) after. I do either a hardboiled egg or a few nuts before, usually some roast beef and sweet potato after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Meldrins Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks @missmary! I've just order the book online, I couldn't find it in Dublin! Hopefully I will get it soon. Thanks for clarifying this, it make more sense now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhmomi Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I would eat the whole eggs and up your fat intake. You seem to be doing a lot of exercise on very little food. Unless you didn't include your fats in your list. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks @missmary! I've just order the book online, I couldn't find it in Dublin! Hopefully I will get it soon. Thanks for clarifying this, it make more sense now! Another Dub, yay! I got mine online from book depositiry, I doubt you'll find it in a real shop here.

Andrea D. Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It sounds like you need more food for all the training you are doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
