A question we get from a lot of women is: “What should I be eating before or after my workout?” Today I am going to share a great pre or post workout meal idea with you using AllWhites 100% liquid egg whites along with another #SFMWeeklyWorkout! We are also teaming up with @AllWhitesEggs for a fun giveaway, see details below!
It’s spring break for us in Las Vegas so that means family vacation time and lots of equipment free workouts! Whether you’re on vacation like me, or just looking for an equipment free workout to do at home, you don’t want to spend a whole lot of time doing it. This workout is only 15 minutes and seems easy enough, but by the time you’re finished you’ll have completed 75 squats, 75 push-ups, and 75 sit-ups! Say what!? 
Workout:
15 Minute E.M.O.M.:
- 5 Air Squats
- 5 Push-ups
- 5 Sit-ups
Equipment Needed:
- NONE!
- Keep track of your time using a watch or a Timer. (We frequently use the MYWOD app and recommend it to our readers. You can keep track of your workouts, they’ve got “How-To” videos, and of course the app has great timers.)
Modification Options:
- Be sure to modify this at home workout to your ability level. If you can’t do push-ups, try modifying them using our suggests found here.

Now lets discuss what you should be eating before or after this workout. We have covered this in greater detail before, but lets review. We recommend eating a 1:1 ratio of protein and carbohydrates, with little to no fat, 60-90 minutes before your workout. You also want you to eat a 1:1 ratio of protein and carbohydrates within 30 minutes of exercising. If you need a new idea, I love using @AllWhitesEggs because they are rich in protein, fat-free, safe to consume uncooked because they are pasteurized (think smoothies and dressings), and mostly because they are super convenient to always have on hand.
One of my favorite ways to use my @AllWhitesEggs is to mix them into some cream of wheat cereal. This is perfect to have for breakfast if you workout in the mornings or great treat post workout in the evenings. If you’re like me, you love high volume foods that leave you full and not looking for more food. This is a very filling meal that will fuel you for optimal performance during your workout or satisfy your hunger post workout. Here is what you need:
FYI: I use a cinnamon roll flavored protein powder and it is delicious! Use any flavor you desire. If using plain vanilla protein powder I suggest adding a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Okay, okay, here is how you make it:

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to find another way to use my egg whites and then boom, blog post.
I’m always looking for ideas to up the protein count. Thanks! This looks like a great one!
Why did I not think of this!! I like to add egg whites to my soup for extra protein, love new ideas for hitting those protein numbers!
This looks simple and delicious!! So happy to have started this journey with you all!!
We are thrilled to have you!
I love egg whites. It’s my go to breakfast.
Great tip. Thank you.
I have always loved egg whites! Now, I have a few more ways to eat them. Love the pre/post workout information. Super helpful! It has made a HUGE difference during my workouts and how I feel after. You guys rock!
Cream of wheat is one of my favorites. This sounds like a great way to get in some more protein earlier in the day. Definitely going to test this out.
Yum!! Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to try!
Lots of protein is the only way this nursing Mama actually feels full! Thanks for the idea!
Looks yummy! I appreciate the workout idea too! I’ve been wanting to start something, but getting to the gym is hard for me. I feel like I can work this into my daily routine!
I am so excited to try this!!
This looks delightful! Cream of Wheat is so tasty and making it last longer than the usual hour or so is just fantastic ??? Thank you.
Whaaat! I usually have these egg whites in stock, but I never knew you could eat them uncooked!
Totally tomorrows breakfast! I’m thinking snickerdoodle protein!!
Sounds delicious!
Awesome idea, mixing the egg whites with the cream of wheat! I’m thinking I could probably do this with my oatmeal?? I’m so excited to try it!
Was Delicious ! at first thought it would be gross but was pleasantly surprised.
Congratulations Nikki! You were randomly selected as the winner of the giveaway! I’ll be emailing you soon for your mailing address.
Interesting! Would never have thought of the combination
Yes! Great idea. I’ve been looking for breakfast alternatives to whole new eggs and this sounds delicious. And thanks for the workout suggestion as well! Ready to become a Macro Ninja with you ladies 🙂
I cook my oatmeal with 2 eggs blended in and love it! This sounds very similar
I loved this recipe. I also did just cream of wheat, egg whites and then added sauteed veggies (spinach, mushrooms, onions, garlic.) It was so delicious.
