Thanks, Chloe! This helps a lot. I tried a shake before a 5:30am spin class recently, and I had to back way of the intensity after the first ten minutes or so of the class because I was feeling kind of lightheaded. Also a bit sloshy in the tummy, Lol. I will try half a breakfast next time and see what happens. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the ideas!

When you have your full breakfast and then swim, how much time between when you finish breakfast and start your swim?

Thanks again!
Julie
