What to Eat Before Exercising!!

Good!!

Typically, it is recommended to have a mix of protein and carbohydrates before working out. Kate Patton, a sports nutrition specialist, advises against consuming fat or high fiber foods like grilled cheese sandwiches or broccoli before exercising as they could cause stomach discomfort and cramps.

Nutrition Guidelines Before Working Out:

Fine!!

1. Morning Workouts Lasting Less Than an Hour;

yes!!

For short and light morning workouts, you may opt not to eat to encourage your body to utilize body fat during the session.

If you feel hungry, consider having a carbohydrate snack that can be quickly digested, such as fruit juice, a banana, grapes, or dry cereal.

2. Moderate to Workouts Sessions:

Having a snack before moderate workouts is beneficial as it gives you the necessary energy for the session.

Signs that you may need a snack include hunger, headaches, dizziness, irritability or difficulty focusing.

3. Long Morning Workouts Exceeding an Hour:

good!!

Consume carbohydrates to sustain your workout, like half an English muffin with peanut butter, an apple with almond butter, or plain yogurt with granola.

Eating a breakfast before workouts can help prevent fatigue and enhance performance.

4. workout later in the day:

okay!!

If you’ve had a meal, in the two to three hours you can start your workout without needing fuel beforehand. However, if it’s been a while since you last ate, consider having a 100 to 200 calorie snack around 30 minutes to an hour before you exercise.

Keep in mind that the waiting time, before exercising after eating varies based on whether it was a meal or just a snack. Its recommended to wait two to three hours after a meal. Waiting for 30 minutes after having a snack is usually enough.
