Extreme Veteran  3177    |  Subject: Food NOT to work out onWe all see the threads in here about proper race nutrition, what to eat before a race, how to fuel etc... All with good information. However after my run last night I started thinking what food have you had experiences with eating prior to working out that might have had a not so good effect... For me last night we had a rice noodle, veggie and Thai Peanut sauce stir fry that my wife made for dinner, 2 hours later I went for a run and I definately regretted it...did not throw up by my stomach was trying to flip flop and tie itself into a pretzel all at the same time for most of the run. I have also had a bad experience from a cheese Quesadilla with a medium-hot salsa on it. (I usually stick with a mild extremely flavorful Salsa Fresca.) What else should we avoid? |

Just a bad idea all together... That's like loading a cannon and using too much gunpowder. Explosive, yes. Good idea, no. |

| New user 57 | Subject: RE: Food NOT to work out on Chocolate before a long workout has always bothered me - terrible bloating and cramps. During is not as bad, say in a protein bar during an extended bike ride, but before is terrible for me and several of my friends. |

Pro 6011 Camp Hill, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Food NOT to work out on I pretty much have an iron gut. I've never had a problem with any food. The only time I've felt bad during a workout because of what I consumed was when I had 3 pints at happy hour, then went for a run. Definitely felt bloated and uncomfortable. |

| Member 360 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: Food NOT to work out on I've had trouble with cheesy meals a couple of times. I will not eat anything with cheese and limit my dairy the day before a race or a long run. Apparently I've had more trouble with food on runs more than the other two disciplines. |
