I tend to work out in the evening after work, say around 1800. With that in mind I usually have a high protein snack around 1600, so I don’t have a full stomach come workout time. My snacks are usually a protein yogurt, sardines, beef jerky, or an apple with almond/peanut butter. I also make sure I am drinking water throughout the afternoon.
I don’t work out, but from what I’ve seen fro my friends is they always go for a banana or peanut butter something light to prevent muscle cramping.
I exercise for just a couple of minutes at home after I wake up and drink some water and I eat after the exercise. It’s hard to exercise on a full stomach and will slow digestion and make you feel bloated so wait for at least 1-1.5 h before exercising.
If training in the morning I don’t eat, if in the evening I leave about 2 hours before I workout it makes me feel sick if I’m full when I train. But each person is different so listen to your body and do what works for you :) you got this!
If I train early in the morning, I don’t eat anything. When I do it during the day, I have complete meals and train after a couple of hours, if I’m hungry before starting, I eat a protein bar.
Hello! Since I practice Capoeira and it’s a strong sport, I usually eat some rice with parmesan to have a great supply of carbohydrates and feel energized!
Usually something light such as a cereal bar is enough to get through the workout. If I do eat a meal such as breakfast or lunch, I give it at least 45 minutes to an hour before pushing myself hard exercising
I like to exercise on an empty stomach so that I burn my fat sotres rather than what’s being absorbed from my food. But if I were to eat I would have a banana or something small with a coffee half an hour before my exercise.
I usually eat something that has protein like a piece of toast and peanut butter so that it doesn’t make me super full but fills me up till after lunch. Plus you don’t want to get a sore stomach cause you are to much. I usually eat 45 minutes to an hour before I head to the gym or go for a walk. This way it gives your body time to digest the food properly and help you burn more fat.
I like to eat a small snack that contains simple carbohydrates such as a piece of fruit or a granola bar. I eat this about 30 minutes before my workout to give me the energy I need to perform well during my workout. Alternatively, if I have a meal before working out, I try to have a nutritionally balanced meal with carbs, protein, and healthy fats. When having a full meal, I like to finish the meal 1 hour before my workout to give myself time to digest before being active
