I used to eat a little bit of Kashi cereal or some eggwhites before I would workout. I had about an hour between when I ate it and when I started the bootcamp, so it was enough time to give me some energy before I started. My trainer always suggested some fruit so you get the instant energy boost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250743 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:15:36 +0000 kokobee 250743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: i'm def going to try the peanut butter and banana! thanks :)!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250716 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:59:42 +0000 JoJoGirl 250716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kokobee: if you get hungry, especially mid-workout, try eating a SMALL (like 100 calories) amount of protein ahead of time, I found that to be important. Carbs (like a banana) will burn off immediately but the protein will sustain you for longer. A combo is good, which is why I suggested the peanut butter on top of the banana. A banana alone would not sustain me through a whole workout :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250700 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:50:39 +0000 kokobee 250700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @Sammyfab: @blackbird: @JoJoGirl: wow! never would've thought banana! thanks for all the suggestions! </p> <p>after my first day of hard workout at boot camp, i was starving! a lot of calories were burned for sure :D! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250642 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:18:33 +0000 JoJoGirl 250642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not "real food", but I like NuGo Organic protein bars - combo of carbs and protein. I'll eventually transition to a banana + peanut butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250639 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:17:07 +0000 blackbird 250639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a protein shake about an hour before, or half a banana, or a few bites of real food. If i'm working out in the AM, i'll do one waffle. </p> <p>If you work out hard, you definitely want a carb immediately after, like a piece of fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250167 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:59:37 +0000 Sammyfab 250167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest a banana as well :). Someone once told me that you're supposed to eat carbs and fats before working out and protein after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250139 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:37:33 +0000 MamaMoose 250139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A banana and a granola bar is always the best combo for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-before-working-out#post-250109 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:52:49 +0000 kokobee 250109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today will be my first day starting Boot Camp! </p> <p>I know I should eat something light about an hour before I workout but kind of stuck on what. </p> <p>Any suggestions on what I can/should eat before working out? </p>
