kruddock Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I will be going to some crossfit classes that are a little later than I am used to, so I just wanted some confirmation about the timing of my meals/snacks. Today: Breakfast @ 6am, Lunch @ 1:30pm, get home from work at 5:45pm, snack @ 6:00pm, crossfit class @ 6:30-7:30pm, supper when I get home? or should I squeeze in a postWOD snack and wait and then have supper? Tomorrow: Breakfast @ 6am, Lunch @ 1:00pm, get home from work at 5:45pm, supper @ 6:30pm, crossfit class @ 7:45-8:45pm, postWOD snack when I get home. I don't think I can fit in a preWOD snack. I usually go to bed at 10:00pm. Will the timing of all of this work or will I have trouble sleeping do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2015 CrossFit is pretty demanding. I would eat some lean protein as soon as class is over and then eat supper when I got home. When I went to noon classes, I ate a can of tuna after class and then came home and prepared and ate my lunch. I often sleep just 2 hours after finishing a big meal.

kruddock Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 So the 6:30pm class went well for the meal timing, I had a postWOD snack right after and then supper when I got home. The 7:45pm class was just okay, I got home at 5:50pm, ate supper at 6:30pm and then went to class at 7:45pm, however, at the start of the class I felt like my supper was starting to come up a bit but then it subsided. Maybe I need to make a better choice for supper before a WOD? Supper was shepherds pie made with white potato, carrots & celery in the beef, brushed with ghee on top for fat and I also had a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Any better suggestions for a preWOD meal? BTW, I had a postWOD snack at 9:15pm. That's all I can manage before bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try a slightly bigger pre-WO style meal when you get home, before the class. For me (a woman, normal weight, very active) that would be 2 hard-boiled eggs and maybe 1/2-3/4 a serving of olives, maybe a schmear of mayo or guac on the eggs after slicing them in half. Or a decent size salad with olives and oil & vinegar dressing. Then I would bring two bites of chicken and two bites of sweet potato to eat in the car on the way home, just to tie me over. When I got home, I would eat dinner, then shower, bed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I will try a bigger preWOD snack before the workout, regular postWOD snack immediately after and a light supper when I get home, my problem is that I would get home at 9pm and I don't think I can eat a full size supper just before bed. I will play around with portions and types of foods. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase the size of your M2 - particularly the fat content & this should allow for the lighter supper without compromising your energy levels next day - and maybe make the postWO a bit more than 2 or 3 bites each of protein & starchy carbs. I'd probably up the protein a bit postWO for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
