I am really struggling with my Thurs night ladder. It's a 4.0+ ladder from 930-midnight and most of the guys I play are 4.5+. I'm still tweaking my game around some recovering TE so I'm basically playing a lot of retrieving tennis - great/insane cardio for me - but I am usually dead by the time I crash and struggling the next morning.
I currently wake up at 515AM M-Thurs, do 45min-1 hr cardio, breakfast, gym, post workout shake/banana/nat peanut butter, work, lunch which is moderate (400 cals), snack in the afternoon, then dinner around 6pm and try to limit any food after that period just to give you a sense of what I am eating.
On Fri I will sleep in til 630am cause of the tennis but I need to eat something after my tennis that re fuels me in a way that lets me absorb the food fast so I can crash by 1230am or so. Would something like rice cakes w/peanut butter make sense or is that too high GI? I think high GI w/a little protein would be a good idea? i have tried almonds and some fruit after the tennis but i wake up in the morning starving and also just w/an acidic feeling in the stomach.
Thanks for any recommendations.
