Hi Courtney - looks good so far. Remember to have veggies for breakfast as well.

And, I recently read this somewhere else on the Forum. Something for you to consider since you workout in the morning...

Your PWO meal is a special bonus meal, dedicated just to your recovery. So if your PWO meal is your first meal of the day, you still need to eat "Meal 1," "Meal 2," and "Meal 3" in the course of your day. Make sense? If you're training that hard, you need the extra nutrition to support your activity level, so on days when you train, you eat a pre-workout snack, a PWO meal, and then breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Hi Carie, thanks. Yes I was too lazy to chop some veggies I think I'll chop some extra from dinner that I can just reheat. Question for you... My WO is at 5:30am, I literally roll out of bed to get there on time. Should I still get a snack in before I head out the door? If so, what would you recommend that I won't be burping up throughout the wod ?

Hi Courtney -

The Whole9 Nutrition Workshop Packet says to include a small amount of protein (1/2 a meal size or smaller), and (optionally) a small amount of fat (1/2 a meal size or smaller). Do not add fruit or carb-dense veggies to your pre-workout snack. It specifically says if you train first thing in the morning, something is better than nothing.

I opened this question up to a few of the athletes at my gym and the answers were all over the board. Some eat big at night, their WODs seem fine (they are not dizzy or too exhausted to continue) so they don't pre-WOD snack. Some like hard boiled eggs and/or some Applegate sausage before...just a bit of fat and protein, but not much. Some even like an apple.

I workout in the evening and I eat about an hour before I do. My pre-WOD snack usually consists of whatever protein I had for lunch and some avocado or some olives.

Take a look in the Whole30 For Athletes section of the Forum and see what works for others. I also believe this will take some tinkering on your part to see what works for you.

Hope this helps.

Well, I'm an idiot! I just realized the vanilla extract I put in last nights date bars was so NOT whole 30. I'm so irritated with myself, especially knowing that they probably would have tasted the same without the vanilla.. well, moving on from that mistake. Hopefully that wasn't too huge of a mistake.
