- 2-4 hours before a workout-Eat a light meal of quality carbs, lean protein and al little fat. Apple with almond butter or natural peanut butter. Sweat potato with a drizzle of olive oil and plain Greek yogurt. Black beans, turkey burger and rice.
- 30-60 minutes before a workout -Eat a small, mostly carbohydrate snack like a fruit or a small cup of oatmeal.
- Post workout: Eat a modest meal with carbs, protein, and a healthy fat: The ideas above or try a sandwich with sprouted wheat bread, a sliced tomato, an avocado and turkey or chicken. Or a Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts.
I would love to hear your comments on what works best for you!

I typically never have any sort f issue with any kind of workouts...but I have the most trouble with my stomach during & after a run. I'll get a burning, aching stomach during a run which usually translates into horrible stomach pains for several hours following... I cannot figure out if it's diet, just my physical make up, or what....Any suggestion or ideas?
Kristen. That doesn't sound good. This happened to me when I would run if I ate too much protein before my workout. The protein sits in your gut and doesn't digest as quickly as a carb and makes you sick sometimes. See what you are eating before and try to change that. Let me know if it helps!
