Carbs and workout

Good information....I too have heard to pound on the protein and it will provide more energy.  I've been reading more and more that healthy carbs are pretty darn good before a hard workout.  I usually have a slice of wheat bread when I'm driving to the gym with half of a banana.  Or, somtimes munch on a protein bar that has carbs.  Thanks!

When I'm doing a road race, this has become my routine: 2 hours before the race I have a cup of peppermint tea to wake up the pouch, then I take my time and eat a thoroughly toasted english muffin with peanut butter. 1 hour before the race I eat a banana. After the race I eat another banana with some gatorade.
