GreenDreamMomma Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I currently do the pre-workout and post-workout meals for my weight training in which I have my protein and sweet potato. I have added cycling to my workouts- I cycle in to work (30 mins) and back home (30 mins), I wouldn't call these intense workouts by any means, but does get me sweating and my heart rate up. I do find myself hungry between breakfast and my pre-workout around lunch... Basically it looks like this: Breakfast 7am 3 fried eggs in a bit of ghee 1/2 avocado 3 cups lettuce some blueberries on top CYCLE TO WORK Pre-workout 11am Chicken + dab of primal mayo + some veggies WEIGHT TRAINING Post-Workout/Lunch 13h30 Chicken breast Sweet potato baby kale and chard Afternoon snack (before riding home) 15h30 Vegetables, 1 hard boiled egg, mayo CYCLE HOME Dinner 19hr Chicken breast Squash Roasted carrots Any recommendations?

GreenDreamMomma Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 What would you do between breakfast and pre-workout if anything? I feel hungry some days despite my big breakfast... (maybe I need to get my kids to stop eating my eggs off my plate!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Up the size of your meal one & switch the fruits for more veg?Fruits first thing are often reported to cause a spike in blood sugar & then have you feeling hungry soon after which might explain why you're not making it to preWO without feeling hungry...

GFChris Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Lettuce isn't very satiating. I'd swap out 1-3 cups of another cooked vegetable instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDreamMomma Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 The blueberries are quite sparse, they are more of a drizzle on my salad, but I can def do a roasted vegetable leftover... great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted May 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2015 I bike commute too. I find it hard to stay full on eggs alone. I need a little meat too (or a lot of eggs) for meal 1. Maybe a little more protein with your lunch, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
