Studies recommend that we load up on carbohydrates before working out in order to maximize exercise performance. Carbs provide fuel for our muscles during physical activities. As a result, they help minimize fatigue and helps keep us going during high-intensity training sessions.
- You can eat at least 30 minutes before you start your workout session.
- Make sure to eat snacks that are easy to digest to prevent constipation.
- Research. We all have different bodies. What might work for others may not necessarily work for us.
Snack suggestions before your workout:
Smoothies
This is a very popular menu option. It is a great way to load your body up with nutritious fruits or vegetables before you hit the gym. It is also portable, so if you live far from where you usually work out, you can enjoy your smoothie on the way.
Bananas are not only great for minions. As previously mentioned, we need carbs when working out, and bananas are packed with them. In addition, they can be easily digested and a good source of potassium and antioxidants, which may aid in preventing muscle cramps.
Eggs
These are classic. Eggs have protein, and they work best in helping you build your muscle and in recovering the muscle fibers that are lost during the workout.
Trail Mix
Nuts have plenty of healthy fats that help boost your muscle strength and are a great source of energy. They also have omega-3, which aids your cardiovascular health.
Whole Grains
Carbohydrates. Glycogen. That’s it.
Water
Make sure that you are not dehydrated when working out. If you want to make sure that you maximize your performance, don’t skip the water.
