BJJ Nutrition: Eating before Class

[@Bucket70]

I love the routine I have. Up at 4am, bottle of water, 2 cups of coffee, read for an hour, a bowl of raisin bran. At the gym by 545am, stretch, warm up, class starts at 6am. Train for an hour, at work by 8am feeling amazing.

[@TurboViet]

at what time are you going to bed?

[@Bucket70]

In the bed by 830 and read for 30 minutes, there is no blue light at all. TV, phone, computer etc...all off. Sound asleep by 915.

[@naturalianoss]

Bed at 10 wake at 8 drink a cup of black coffee eat couple of dates or figs then stretch a little bit read or play guitar then training at 11 until 13 then I eat a nice meal at 15 then I do whatever I have to do

I am up at 6 am, the jiu-jitsu gym is just 15 minutes 🏃‍♂️ from my house.... training starts at 7:15 am and around 8:55 I am at home making coffee. I work from 9am until 5:30pm from home, around 1pm I hit the gym to do resistance training for 1 hour. After work I still manage to go to the 2nd jiu-jitsu training starting 17:30, 18:45 or 20:00. Normally I train 5 times a week, but I could be there easily 10 times a week.

I’d LOVE to have early morning classes available. Jealous.

It takes at least an hour (99.9% of people) to pass food through the small intestine. Depending on how hard you're rolling and how shook up your gonna get, So black belt who's a fuckin smooth snake with no heartbeat (beast, every roll is at his pace) can eat 1 hour or one minute beforehand and be ok. Most people give at least 2 hours or you're gonna have to pull back at some point or vomit. Personally, white belt, newb, I eat breakfast at 8:30-9:30am and roll at 12:15pm. If you eat enough for breakfast it should keep you going for 3 hours+ On these days I sometimes snack after class (1:45ish) or just go home and eat at 2:30pm. Or eat breakfast and lunch and a snack all before 4:30pm and roll at 7:30. Hydration is far more important imo. Especially for those eating proper filling balanced meals. If you feel terrible before class eat a few fig newtons or a banana an hour or so before class or half a banana and one fig newton anytime and just be prepared if blehhhhch vomit.

*after night class I'd be home around 9pm and eat dinner then and stay up til 11pm.I probably could skip this meal that's rare. #cheers

[@isaacleiva2828]

What is JT's pre-rolls snack? avocado "something" toast? English is my second language and sometimes I have a hard time with the aussie accent 😅

[@olivarrio]

The Rain Spot - Relaxing Sounds is a new meditation channel here on youtube. Great for pre-roll zen moments. #cheers #saludos

I'm currently attempting to write a job application while not eating many carbs. I'm injured and do not want to gain weight to stress what's left of my knee. No wonder it's not going well!😂

[@KenithCopeland]

if you are not training then a overall reduction in calories is a better option then just reducing calories. your body still needs carbs as its preferred fuel source when you are injured (how else do you think it will heal)

[@MrSparky229]

Great stuff guys! PB and honey on toast is my go to

[@MrPerutalo]

Thnx

[@srichie1914]

Greek yogurt with blueberries, granola, and honey has been money for me lately

[@fernandor8186]

and no issues when rolling? 😂

[@srichie1914]

@@fernandor8186 nope

[@KenithCopeland]

shot of cold brew coffee, no acidity like a fresh espresso. two pieces of toast and a banana in the Am before classes. leave the protein intake for after training as its not that of a priority for jiujitsu "fuel" during training

[@ynnkm8573]

These lads and their sodium 😭 haha love it 🙏🏻

[@emresahin1962]

On the days that I have to train at 7pm I just have breakfast and lunch. I don’t eat before or after training cause I have GERD. If you have situation like mine you can give it a try guys.

[@treforcoster3377]

rice, egg, touch of soy sauce and chilli oil!

[@Bling92]

[@theblishknovk]

I smoke cigars and have done bjj for about 3 months. Dont think i could smoke a cigar and then roll. But i could be wrong. I feel like im in a hot tub getting a massage when i smoke a cigar. Haha
