protein amounts

[Guest guest]

hi, another newbie here

first breakfast - I work out early in the morning and don't want to eat

a full breakfast b/4 working out. What I've been eating is slice of

Ezk4:9 bread w/2 tblsp either almond or peanut btr. This equals 7g of

protein (counting only the alm or peanut btr)

After I workout, I have a smoothie with 1 c. soy milk (7g), 2 tblsp

flax seed (3.2g), Complete powder (13g) with some fruit. Total protein

equals 23.2g. I'm supposed to get 25g at this meal and I get it,

actually go over it, when I add in the pre-workout snack.

This really works well for me, I feel balanced.

Would love input though, esp. about pre-workout food.

thanks!

Hi there! I love Ezekial bread, I eat it almost every day. It's one of those

standards in my house, now.

 

Pre-workout food for me in the morning is usually a shake. If I'm working out

later in the day I tend to need more chewable food to keep me going . So a

peanut butter sandwhich, or maybe cheese, almonds and an apple. I bet other

people here can give their ideas.

 

 

About the protein amounts, my experience has taught me I can't count the protein

in the snacks towards my meal amount or I feel unsteady, not to mention

my blood sugar gets crashy. (When I exercise a lot and for me that's 5+

hours a week, I actually need more protein then the recommended

amount per meal). It was frustrating to realize that at first, afterall I was

exercising to lose weight LOL. But then again, I have a history of eating

disorders LOLOL.

 

What step are you working on right now?
