Hello, dear fitness bloggers!
The first post this week will be about foods you are advised to have before you workout.
I would definitely suggest you eat no less than half an hour before you go training because otherwise you will feel clumsy and sluggish and you will give up on the workout soon after. Make sure you give your stomach enough time to digest the food thoroughly.
My first idea for a snack before is yogurt. It's light, tasty and easy on your stomach, so it's a perfect choice. It's up to you whether to eat it plain, flavored with fruit pieces or add something on your own to it. My tip: slice an apple or one banana and sprinkle with laxseeds.
An oatmeal dish is another wonderful option to have before the training. This is because the energy you will get from it will be released gradually during your entire workout by creating a constant flow of sugar into your blood system.
Nuts would be another great option to load you up with energy and drive the hunger feeling away while you train. They won't leave you with a heavy sensation in your stomach, but be careful not to have too many because the exact opposite might occur.
So, guys what's your favorite snack before the workout? I'd love to read your ideas, so don't forget to comment below:))
hmmmm I usually never eat before a workout. Unless its protein shake... anything else makes me feel bad inside
ReplyDeleteI ate before training once... Never again. On topic -- some fruit at best, but I'd prefer nothing, really.
ReplyDeleteI also prefer not eating before workout. Just as you said - it makes me feel sluggish. I'd advise you not to go on a completely empty stomach, tho - you may get dizzy
ReplyDeleteI prefer to workout 2-4 hours after a main meal. This way you have a high amount of glucose stored in your liver and you don't feel full. A coffee with milk is a good thing to have prior to working out.
