Good morning! It’s Monday — are you ready for the week?
I’m excited to start this week’s posting with a giveaway. It’s a good one.
Proper fueling for exercise is certainly a science. I took a Nutriton & Physical Fitness class my last semester of college; it was one of my favorite classes — surprised!? Recently, I was sent two copies of The Feed Zone Cookbook — one for me and one for (hopefully!) you. This book, designed for endurance athletes, is a great resource for any athlete who wants guidance in the kitchen — from breakfast to dinner, dessert!, and even portable meals on-the-go.
There’s something for everyone inside, from Recovery Grilled Cheese to Sweet Pea and Herb Bruschetta and Fig and Honey Rice Cakes. Plus, there’s a shopping list, generous side of basic recipes, and techniques to make your race around the kitchen easy and enjoyable.
Let’s take look inside…
There are 3 separate ways to enter the giveaway. Please leave a separate comment below for each way of entry.
1. Like Nutrition Nut on the Run on Facebook — please!
2. Tweet about the giveaway with a link
3. Tell me a favorite pre or post-exercise meal

Hmmm…favorite pre- and/or post-workout snack(s):
pre: peanut butter & banana or homemade energy bar
post: yogurt and fresh fruit or a smoothie
My favorite pre-work out snack is a granola/power bar made by me :) and post is usually dinner. Lots of baby greens in the form of a salad with grilled fruit, and fish or chicken…yummy!
My favorite post-workout snack of lately is a chocolate-cherry smoothie! Or any smoothie because it’s SO hot out.

Before a work out, I like to keep it simple with some fruit and a handful of nuts or a smoothie; after a work out, I like a bigger meal, like eggs and toast. But, that’s assuming it’s the morning! If I work out in the afternoon, I like to eat a big salad afterwards with lots of protein: hard boiled eggs, nuts, seeds, cottage cheese, and/or fish!
ah what a fun giveaway! that would be great to have in the dorm this coming year! I tend to enjoy smoothies post long runs…especially in this warmer weather :)
i love some pita chips and hummus as a post workout snack!

Chocolate Milk is my go-to post-workout snack. It helps tide me over while I’m preparing something healthier than whatever is usually in reach. But if I’m hungry when I’m running and I focus on something for too long, that is the only thing I want or need once I’m home. The first time I ran over 10 miles, it was Annie’s Organic Bernie O’s (Annie’s answer to spaghetti-o’s). They were the best weird canned noodles I’ve ever eaten. I’ve crossed the double-digit line too many times to count since then, but I haven’t had them since :)
My favorite post workout meal is a green protein smoothie!

Chobani yogurt…any flavor. Or some oatmeal!
