Snacks You Should Eat Before a Workout

Starting exercise on an empty stomach could leave you feeling weak or you might just feel hungry all through the work out. This surely makes it hard to focus on your exercise and may even contribute to you giving up altogether based upon the hunger pains. On the flip side of this to snack just before exercise or eating a meal just before exercise can make you feel uncomfortable as well. In fact, this may counteract the calorie burn of your physical activity. When and what to eat before exercise is certainly a pain to figure out. However, a well-timed snack can help fuel exercise.

What should we do?

Try consuming a carbohydrate-rich snack within 1 to 4 hours before exercise. Scientists say this can help replenish liver and muscle glycogen which is the main fuel for working muscles. This can also stabilize blood sugar levels that in turn helps fuel the brain and central nervous system which then keeps you mentally alert during exercise. It is almost like the sequences in running a car. A battery starts the car, the alternator then takes over and keeps charging the battery dependent upon how well your battery and alternator are working. If all things are good to go in your car, the car gets you to where you want to go.

There is another step to apply.

Combine your carbohydrate-rich food with a balance of protein and fat. It is said the bit of protein, fat and fiber in the carbohydrate-rich snack helps satisfy you and prevents big blood sugar spikes followed by a drastic fall during exercise. Adding protein to snacks just before resistance exercise (strength training) also helps promote muscle recovery after your work out.

What is the fix?

• low-fat yogurt, cheese sticks, nuts, seeds and canned seafood in single-serve packs are quick sources of protein and healthy fat
• choose whole grains or whole fruit as an easy way to get carbohydrate with fiber.
