Workout Everyday? The dilemma is should you eat before workout or Post workout

The ultimate problem for those of you who work out each day is whether to store up on energy before you start exercising or after you're done. We are here to assist. Eating both before and after, depending on how and how much, has advantages and downsides!

Pre-Workout Meals For example, fueling up on foods rich in protein and complex carbs at least 3-4 hours before your workout is perfect. Carbs give your body the energy that is much needed to perform, so include starchy vegetables, bananas, or small portions of whole grains. Evite refined carbs.

Use eggs, lean meat, fish, or vegetarian sources such as legumes, lentils, and tofu, for protein. Keep your fat intake low, as this might make you sluggish, and hamper your efficiency.

While this is practical for a daytime workout, this sort of luxury is not afforded by morning workouts. So ideally, eat a small but nutrient-dense snack not less than half an hour before your morning workout– a fruit, a Greek yogurt bowl, a homemade granola bar, or a medium smoothie fruit.

Post-Workout Meals

Post-workout meals are important since they allow you to replenish all the nutrients you've spent during exercise. You need to replenish energy and muscle strength, so a combination of carbs, protein and fat are essential. The key is also to use common sense know how much to eat – if you're gobbling down more calories than you've burnt, then you're nullifying the workout.

Hydrate before meal, if possible, and add a glass of coconut water. It helps to replenish missing body fluids and electrolytes. Ideally, having finished your workout, eat your meal 20-45 minutes. Include oatmeal, unpolimented rice, green vegetables, sweet potatoes, bananas, bacon, chicken, fatty fish, milk, avocados, nuts and seeds in your meal.
