I just got back from a 9 am CrossFit class and I had half a yam and a chicken breast that I stuffed with ham and cheese. I was thinking the yam was a good post-workout carb source, but from what I am beginning to understand, I think I need something much higher on the GI to prevent the cortisol release - essentially you need a simple sugar/carb.

Expensive, yes. But all cuts are available. I can't eat the xtra lean, so go with lean ground and it's nice and oily. Fry it up with veggies.

For anyone looking to maximize any fat loss, avoiding insulin spikes in the morning is a good idea. Whey can cause insulin to rise, slowing or stopping any fat burning. If you're ok with not so fast a rate, the shakes for breaky are ok, but an ideal breakfast is protein and fats. Bacon and eggs works. I eat red meat and nuts for breaky, but most people don't think they would enjoy that -lol

your ankles swollen?
OK so what are good things to take for lunch supper and snacks if you spend 12 hours driving a truck every day at work? I know your driving a truck Mindy, don't know how long you spend in it, but my shifts are 12 hours and I get two 10 min breaks and two 30 min breaks a day but no where near anywhere where I can cook things, so what ever I take has to be very easy to prepare and be able to be eaten cold. and preferably while I am driving. normally I take one sandwich, two apples, two plums, and some sliced sausages and cheese, and some raw veggies (carrots, celery, snow peas) this is what I am driving now Steve

Define good I eat for purpose, so to me, I'm willing to compromise "good" for good for me. If I'm out on the road for a day, I pack chicken/broccoli stirfry, maybe slices of roast beast and some cheese, nuts, beef jerky, etc. Canned tuna would work too. Although, if you don't have anywhere to heat stuff, that makes it tougher. Cold chicken breast is ok, and I've been seen eating cold ground turkey on the car deck of the ferry You can make wraps from eggs and put your sandwich stuff in that, or other egg recipes.

Volume of food is a big thing because you're not burning a lot of calories sitting there. Take lots of veggies that will fill your belly without expanding your belly. Stay away from processed carbs like crackers and bread. You shouldn't eat any processed carbs at all and I would stay away from grains too - even if they aren't processed. Don't forget protein! Boiled eggs, cold chicken nuggets (no bread coating) made with herbs add cheese to them if they are dry to eat, cubes of ham. Canned skipjack tuna (not albacore or yellowfin), salmon, sardines, oysters, etc. Even beef jerky (find something with natural ingredients) and pepperoni is fine. Greek yogurt, cheese. Avoid too much fruit (fructose) - 4 pieces of fruit is way too much. Tomato juice, V8 both good. I'm also learning lots about dietary fat. If you're too hungry, have a serving of fat like avacado or nuts and seeds. Fat doesn't make you fat. |
