Pre-Gym snack recommendations

[khath0620 20]

I go to the gym at 5 a.m. (so I get up at 4:30). I am generally STARVED when I wake up. I try to have a small snack before I go to the gym (i.e. handful of cheerios, a few grapes, etc) so I don't get dizzy when I work out. Any suggestions for other lite Snacks in the morning before I exercise???

Thanks,

Katie

I like to make my Protein Shake and drink it on my way to the gym in the morning.

Thanks, all! I will give them a try. I never thought about drinking my Protein Shake at the gym instead of my Water. That might be an idea I should try. Have a great day!

In general carbs provide you with a surge of energy. The last time I lost weight (over 100 pounds) I had the same work out schedule as you. I made half a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwhich with suger free jelly.

yep general rule is Carbs pre-workout, Protein Post work out. Peanut Butter, bannana etc is a good source of slow releising energy. I know you may struggle but fasting excercise is the way to go to to get your body into the fat burning mode. Good luck

some Protein bar and some fruits should do well for you, and actully you are going well keep up with it, you can also have orange,a cup of oatmeal and a banana. etc.
