Eating before and after work-outs is very important. You need to make sure you’re fueling your body properly for your workout and to give you the maximum results you’re looking for.
BEFORE your workout:
Eating heavy foods before a work out is not advisable because you can fall sick and it would take a while to digest. So you would need quick digesting energy source such as:
- fresh fruit (apples and bananas are higher sugar-quicker energy)
- dried fruit
- honey
- peanut butter toast
- yogurt (if it’s not upsetting to your stomach)
- granola bar
- oatmeal with fresh fruit
( depending on the amount of time you want to spend working out )
AFTER your workout:
After the workout is all about re-fueling! It’s best to eat within 30 minutes of your workout for the best results for feeding those muscles replacing the all the energy you’ve used.
I would recommend a protein shake because its way easier to digest. After a protein shake, you can then enjoy a full meal that includes:
- good sources of lean protein (eggs, fish, poultry)
- higher fiber, nutrient-dense carb sources such as quinoa, wild rice or sweet potatoes
- cottage cheese is also a great after workout source providing casein whey which is a faster digesting protein
