appledown4290 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Hi. I'm having issues feeling nauseous after I eat dinner at night. It seems to be on nights where I've gone to Crossfit/worked out after work and I'm wondering if my body doesn't like the post-workout meal and full dinner all within one-two hours and then pretty much bed an hour later. I did a whole30 in January and my day looked like this and I was totally fine: 8am: breakfast 12pm: pre-workout meal (Applegate hot dog/epic jerky pre-wod) 1230/1pm: post-workout meal (chicken and sweet potato) 3/330pm: lunch 8pm: dinner HOWEVER, I finished graduate school in May and started a new job. I had to switch Crossfit boxes and my new one doesn't have a midday class so I have to go after work. My new day looks like: 8am: breakfast 1230/1pm: lunch 5pm: pre-workout meal (Applegate hot dog/epic jerky pre-wod) 7pm: post-workout meal (chicken and sweet potato) 8pm: dinner I started out eating the same quantity for post-workout meal - 1 med sweet potato and 8oz chicken breast, then I tried cutting the chicken in half. Still getting nauseous after dinner. Thoughts? Can I wait until 8pm to eat or do I really need something immediately after the WOD? I've heard of people eating just 1/2 larabar after the WOD to hold them over until they got their next meal, but they weren't on whole30 and I know we're just supposed to try to eat Whole Foods. I saw someone suggest maybe just protein after the wod, so maybe try 4oz chicken only? Notes: I'm 27, very active, and doing the Whole30 for digestive issues not weight loss. Also I don't tolerate eggs well, so occasionally will eat an Rxbar but no eggs otherwise. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 My typical post-workout on Whole30 is like one chicken tender and a wedge of sweet potato because I'd be eating either lunch or dinner shortly thereafter, but I need to get the post-workout fuel in. Try seriously shrinking the portions post-workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlcinslc Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Could you switch your dinner to 4:30-5 and omit pre-WO? I suppose it depends on how much time is between then and your workout and how long you personally like to wait after eating to work out. I have a similar schedule and that's what I do on some days where I have evening workout classes at 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
