Fish is a good choice, eggwhites, etc. For carbs, brown rice, oatmeal are good choices. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

You need carbs before training, this is your "fuel" so you don't hit that wall too soon. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

I've been eating a trail mix bar and fruit around 3:00 PM with my workout at 5:15-5:30, but I know I should change this, just dont know to what.
