Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Egg Whites=Problems? If So...any alternatives?

Hi there,

The most important thing to eat 30 minutes before a workout is carbs. A muffin may not be enough and you may want to add oatmeal in the morning, which by the way has protein. You shouldn't eat too much protein before a workout. The protein is essential after a workout. If you are getting tired during a workout it's most likely probable that you do not have adequate amount of carbs. In this case, you should have some type of supplemental source of carb in the middle of your workout. People do it different ways. YOu could eat a luna bar or some other safe nutrition bar. You could also do some shot blocks by cliff (I think they are safe, but I would check the ingredients again).

If you are able to tolerate eggs in other foods, you probably have only a slight sensitivity to eggs. I would avoid eating them in big quantities. As for a protein shake recipe...I usually just put some fruit with honey (banana, frozen peaches, or mango) with a protein supplement (soy), nuts (if you are okay with them), and a little bit of raw cacoa powder. The cacoa powder is mostly soluble fiber and is so so yummy!

Best!
Erin
