It is very important to eat well and fuel well for workouts. Food is just fuel for the body. If the body isn’t fueled well it is not going to work as hard as it can. By taking in a snack before and after your workout you set your body up to work hard and return to your next workout ready to work hard. Pre workout look for a protein and carb snack, something like:
- Peanut butter and celery
- Cheese and crackers
- Cottage cheese and tomatoes.
- A bowl of cereal with milk (as long as milk doesn’t upset your stomach during a workout)
- Carrots and Hummus
- Steak/Chicken/Fish salad
Post workout, you could reach for a similar snack or even a higher carb to help replace your glycogen stores for your next workout. Remember these are part of your overall caloric intake.
