If I eat anything other than half of a banana just prior to my weekday 6:00 AM workouts (I get up at 5:15) I feel sick. If I eat before I swim (for example, whole-grain cereal w/milk and fruit), I usually wait 2 hours before hitting the pool. Two hours seems to be my threshold.
After my workout, I consume a protein shake within 45 minutes while still in the gym. I then consume the other half of my banana that is waiting for me in the car, followed by granola bars at work. This weekday routine seems to be working for me. I feel great and am steadily improving in my workouts.
