Performance maximizing pre workout food
The main focus of all pre workout meals or pre workout snacks should be carbohydrates.
Carbs provide your body with the needed amount of energy to be able to last throughout your exercise or training session.
Carbs include: Whole-grains, Oats, Beans, Nuts, Fruits and Vegetables.
Attention gym lovers!
- Allow enough time for digestion: The ideal time is to consume carbs one to two hours before exercise.
- Focus on carbs but also consume some protein before your workout. Proteins are key for muscle recovery and muscle growth, therefore protein levels should be maintained at a high level.
- Pre workout snacks can include White bread, Jam, Granola, Cereal, Rice cakes and Fruit.
Muscle recovery post workout food
The purpose of post workout meals is to promote muscle recovery and fill you up with the energy your lost during your workout. Therefore, the focus should once again be on consuming good quality protein and carbs. As such, proteins will allow a process known as muscle protein synthesis (MPS) to occur to help your muscles recover and prevent muscle breakdown.
Proteins include: Lean beef, Chicken, Pork, Turkey, Eggs, Dairy, Seeds, Quinoa and Nuts.
Attention gym lovers!
- Include carbohydrates as they should also be part of your post workout meal plan to make sure the energy you spent during workout is properly replaced.
- Consume protein and carbs together. By doing this, recovery is fastened by enhancing protein and glycogen (energy) synthesis.
