We have had a lot of our athletes ask us recently about what and when to eat before a wod.  I believe that we all respond differently to times that we eat and amounts of  the different macro-nutrients that we consume.  The real answer to all of this is that you need to experiment to find out what works best for you.  Pre workout meals shouldn’t look much different than your other meals.  There should be a proper balance of lean proteins, good fats and favorable carbohydrates.    What works for me most likely won’t be the best for you.  We can point you in the right direction but can’t give you a blanket answer.  Try eating at different times and play with different types of foods and portions before your workout.  Keep a food log to help you remember what you have done and how you felt during and after the workout.  Eventually you will have it down to a science and be properly fueled to crush your wod!
