Great article.. I try to eat a little more protein and a little less carbs.. like it's suggested 1/2 a turkey sandwich before working out.. I eat 1/2 of a piece of toast loaded with some turkey and mustard.

The carb boost helps sustain my workouts and the protein helps rebuilds my muscles

I always try to stay away from protein bars unless I'm in a bind and if I drink a protein shake for added protein and NOT a meal.. I use almond milk 45 cal for 8 ounces 100 cal for the whey protein and a little less than 1/2 of banana (for the potasium.. helps with cramping**** and blend.. YUM :)

I get off of work at 4:30 gym at 5:30 - 7:00 most nights so I don't get home till 7:30 .. and I have to wait a little before I can eat... so I hydrate and relax a tad so I'm not usually eating dinner till 8:00 or 8:30 so I need that snack to last me so I'm not eating garbage when i get home.
