Hello, fellow gymaholics!
The second post this week will be dedicated to ideas for the best energy providing foods.
Carbs might be a taboo for some of you trying to lose weight but there are some carbs that could be very nutritious to you and make you feel full of beans! Cereal and whole-wheat foods are a great source of fiber and will ultimately load you up with energy. They are slow carbs so the body takes longer to absorb them and leave you feeling fresh and strong.
Nuts. Almonds, in particular, are full of protein and magnesium and contribute to transforming the sugar in your body into energy. They can satisfy you fast as they provide your body with unsaturated fats and prevent it from absorbing calories. Moreover, they fight the toxins circulating in your organism and neutralize them because they contain copper and manganese.
The last idea I'd like to give you: eggs. They are one of the most powerful sources of protein and amino acids which help replenish the energy and rebuild the muscles faster. Avoid frying them and eat them boiled or baked.
So, what's your favorite source of energy? Please, let me know in the comments:))
Good advice! I'm boiling eggs as we speak!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, it is good to eat fast carbs before workout such as bananas, because they give you energy more quickly and thus, you are more productive during the training.
ReplyDeleteNow, thanks to the post, I gained a different perspective on the topic. Thanks for the good advices!
Nice suggestions :) Some people are sick of eggs. Curd is another 'must-eat' food for the real gymaholic. Not better taste than eggs but at least something different. Try it with banana :D
