What would you eat...

The one area in my diet that I struggle with the most is the pre-gym/short-time food. I never know what to eat in certain circumstances. My schedule is all over the place, my gut will only tolerate certain foods some days, I may go long hours between being able to eat (not because I can't make time or something like that; my gut sometimes won't allow me to eat for 12 hours or more). Rather than generalities like this though I thought I'd just ask: "What would you eat given the following scenario?" Don't try and tailor it to me or something. I'll take care of culling what I can or can't eat from whatever you guys come up with. I need some new ideas for beverages too if you have any. I've become a big fan of coconut water when I can afford it.

*vegan/vegetarian options are super-extra welcome. I need more veggie options in my life!

**cooking things the night before to grab quickly the next day is fair game. E.g. boiled egg, etc.

1) You're going to class at 10am. You just woke up at 9 and you have to leave at 9:30 to be there in time to change, warm up etc. You've got about 15min for breakfast, tops. What would you eat & drink?

2) Its been a long day at work. You're going to 7:30pm class on your way home and you haven't eaten since about 8am. You're HUNGRY now but you don't wanna puke all over the mat. That's frowned upon at this particular gym.

3) You just finished class and you have an hour of cardio penciled in for later this afternoon. You just finished rolling so you really need fuel. You have a couple of hours to kill but you'll be running so again, no puking.

4) You're planning on going to am jiu jitsu class, then school, then back to evening jitz class. You won't be home once you leave in the morning and you won't have access to a fridge all day. You do have an awesome backpack that can easily hold your bodyweight in dried goods if necessary. Access to decent water is limited so you may need to pack along a beverage option as well some days. Your bag holds 3L of filtered water from home.

Thanks everybody!

stay away from simple carbs and sugar products.

That part I get. What I need are some ideas of portable, quick, no-sugar foods that would work in those scenarios -- which I encounter frequently.

I'm more looking for:
1) "I'd have an egg white, 1/2 cup of almonds, and a container of coconut water"
2) "Dude you're screwed. I guess I'd have maybe a half a peanut butter sandwich and a lot of water"
3) ...

You get the idea. The generalities of diet I get. I'm stuck for specifics.

Have you had a chance to read Tim Ferris' book? The 4 hour body? plenty of good tips.
Usually if I couldn't eat before training I pound a protein shake. I can tolerate a shake up to 30 mins prior to training but an hour prior is best :)

Guys im getting to 205 how much should i eat daily?
And eat watermelon b4 u work out thats a great snack

ive read that fruit before you train isnt always bad, so maybe some dried fruit? trail mix kinda deal?

1-boiled eggs (the whole thing, as many as you need to get you thru till your next meal) and a head of lettuce (helps with fiber and extra water intake in the morning)
1- Option 2, half a box of tofu sprayed ( from a mist sprayer) with lemon juice and soy sauce, also a head of lettuce ( I love eating a full head of lettuce in the morning) Tofu is easy to digest and wont bother you on empty stomach.
2-Chunky Peanut butter
3-Chunky Peanut butter
4-Chunky peanut butter and raw almond dry cranberry mix

Peanut butter and almonds give you good fats and protein that will stay with you and keep you full. Dried cranberries are easy to eat, light to carry and contain huge amounts of fructose (a natural sugar) which will mix in your blood stream fairly quickly and give you that boost you need for late rolling sessions. Since you are eating it instead of drinking the juice, there will be fiber intake which will somewhat slow down the ingestion of the sugar and taper off the tip of the blood sugar spike which will make the eventual crash from the sugar much easier to deal with, make sure to top it off with a proper meal ( about 400 calories max, mixed lean protein and green veggies) before bed time.

Thank you so much! :D

I especially like the idea of eating extra water in the form of lettuce. Lettuce and I don't get along very well but certain foods I can only eat along with lots of fiber (other foods I have to keep the fiber as low as possible). I could for sure add that into my rotation when I need a fiber combination.

Unfortunately peanut butter I have to limit. I've had success with cashew butter in the past so I will try subbing that in. A jar and spoon are certainly portable and don't require a fridge. I LOVE dried cranberries!

1. Fruits
2. Vegetables

Top Brazilian scientists say.....it's a better than vitamins and minerals.

1) Hemp protein fruit smoothie
2)Subway has real wheat bread, they're pretty much the only fast foods spot I frequent.
3)I buy frozen bags of skinless chicken breasts. toss one on the foreman grill along with some veggies and you've got a nice light meal in 15 minutes.
4)deez nuts. lol jk
Pack some granola bars, fruits, trail mix whatever.
