How to Fuel Your Workouts
Eating right is just as important to your workout as the exercises you are doing. Make sure to fuel your body before and after your workout to maximize your results.
Before
Many people make the mistake of not eating before their workout in an effort to avoid an upset stomach or because their busy schedules make it difficult to do so. But fueling up beforehand can replenish glucose levels and help maximize calorie burn. Think about eating healthy carbohydrates beforehand to give your body a boost.
Good Options are: whole-grain cereals (with low-fat or skim milk), whole-wheat toast (without the fatty cream cheese), lowfat or fat free yogurt, whole grain pasta, brown rice, fruits and vegetables.
After
Healthy eating after a workout can replenish and refuel what you lost while exercising. Choosing the right foods can help relieve soreness, promote muscle repair and get you back t o 100% before your next session.
Good options are: chocolate milk, 100% fruit juice, whole grain bagel, baked potato, and a peanut butter sandwich
