https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/4282/question-pre-workout-snack....what do you guys eat as a pre-workout snack (if anything) to give you the requisite energy without making you bloated or sick to the stomach? Also how far prior to the workout do you have your snack? Thanks, TBen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/45316?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:15:31 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:cc8304e4-35ba-4f77-98dc-f627ce1df5e8Former MemberOriginally posted by aquageek Clif Builder&#39;s Bar or Power Bar Triple Threat.

Beware the Indian food, though :D<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/45257?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 27 Jul 2006 07:07:32 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d5cc1761-01cd-4ad6-83f2-62374f3fbb53Brian StackI like a PB (chunky) and J on whole wheat about an hour before practice. Gets me through 3000 or so without a tummy grumble!

Soft fruit (banana, dried cots), 3 or 4 fig newtons, couple of slices of bread get into your system fairly rapidly and don&#39;t cause much of a challenge to stomach. Pick one or two items from above - not the entire menu. This&#39;ll fill up the glycogen stores. If you workout in the morning, your glycogen stores are pretty much depleted even having slept all night.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
