Sciuga Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Tomorrow i start my first whole30. I have thought about this but have forgotten to ask the question. I work at UPS in a very physical job at 4am for about 4 1/2 - 5 hours. Can i treat what i eat at 330 before work a pre workout meal? I dont really have a big workout during the day besides that. And i eat my "breakfast" at 9 when i get out then lunch and dinner around 5. Please help me. I may not get it right day 1 if i dont get a response, but i want the next 29/30 to be 100% correct.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 1, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 1, 2013 It would be better to eat a real breakfast before working 4 to 5 hours, even starting at 4 AM. However, if the best you can do is a pre-workout-size meal, that can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think that sounds good. I know you work physically hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What about just aiming for four meals a day at the times that work best for you ... after all there is no such thing as breakfast really, just meal 1, meal 2 etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I second eating a whole meal to start your day if you can. When you are done with work it is the perfect time to eat your second meal. When I work I have to eat breakfast around 6am, which for me felt way to early at first. I used to force myself to eat at that hour. After a few weeks I was waking up ready to eat that meal. My favorite first meal is swiss chard, sweet potato, and ground beef hash with garlic and onions. You can make it ahead of time then just heat it up when you want it.

MelliebuStacey Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 OP--How's the W30 going? I have to agree with the previous posters about a full-sized meal; has this been the protocol you've decided to follow? Let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
