TenaciousT Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The kale/squash/egg skillet has about an 1/8 of a butternut squash--will that do for a fist sized carb-heavy veg? Or add more? I ask b/c I was eating at least 1 sweet potato a day, and when I reviewed my food journal, I judged that it was too much starchy/carb. Is it the middle way? ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30ashtangi Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 When I do yoga I don't do pre/post because it's against my practice and you are unable to do certain poses. Sometimes I do Barry's Bootcamp (it's a combination of running intervals, weights, HIIT) or spin during my lunch break. I have no problem fitting in a preWO meal but I usually do a Barry's shake on my way back then 30 mins later eat lunch. I know I cannot do a shake, I would replace it but is it too much to do a postWO then eat a meal within the hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I think I had 20 minutes between my Post WO chicken and yam (about 4 bites of each), and my full Meal 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I Crossfit in the evenings. I eat my Post WO chicken & sweet potato at the gym right after the workout then I go home and have Meal 3 within the hour. On those days, I have a more substantial Meal 2 and Meal 3 is at the lower end, just so I am not eating too much before bedtime. This has worked for me so far.

Faith_Schu24 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I do Crossfit at 6:30am at least five mornings a week. I am about to do my first Whole30 challenge, and am pretty clueless as to how it will work with my heavy exercise schedule. Tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruddock Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Make sure you follow the meal template very closely, its very important to include Pre & PostWO snacks in addition to your meals and drink lots of water. Expect to see a decline in energy the first week but it will be right back up there once your body normalizes. If you have specific questions, post on the forums.

loobylifts Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I am on day 1 of my first whole30 and was ravenous by the end of my morning workout - my breakfast beforehand was a veggie omelet and an apple. I guess it will take a while getting used to! Could it be because of the apple? Maybe i'll switch it for more protein/fats and see how I go.

How long after breakfast did you train? It may be that you needed a preWO meal (protein & fat) too - but most likely you needed a postWO meal of protein and starchy carb before having your lunch...

I made it with 2 large - normally have 3 but wasn't feeling the third today which could also be why! Had it around 45mins-1hr preWO and my postWO was tuna and sweet potato before lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip the fruit pre & postWO as these will restore liver glycogen stores which you want to avoid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fat you cook in doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruddock Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Make sure you are not eating too many nuts, you might improve your energy from other fat sources. Nuts can cause digestive upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yeah i've heard that! Today I had 3 eggs scrambled with tomato, 1/2 an avocado and a bit of coconut. Will see how I fare today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loobylifts Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Okay so following that higher fat-higher protein breakfast I am happy to report that this mornings workout was a lot more successful! Hunger didn't strike until about 10-15 minutes before I finished my cool down which is a vast improvement on yesterday. Of course it could be partially psychological, but i'll take it either way. Just chowed down my postWO tuna and sweet potato and feeling good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
