bellanovelli Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi! I am on day 3 of my first Whole30. I worked out yesterday and didn't feel like I had enough food fuel in my system to finish my workout. I will have to have a snack in the afternoon to fuel my workouts. I go really hard in the gym. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted July 13, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2016 You should in fact be fueling your workouts with a pre-workout snack of protein and fat. Post workout should be lean protein and starchy veggie. The first week to 10 days of Whole30, most people report a reduction in their performance during athletic activities as their body switches from being a carb/sugar burner to being able to access their fat stores. Take it easy on yourself during this time, if you keep on with the recommendations about meal composition/size/timing, it improves around the second week.
