What to Eat Before and After a Workout
What foods are good for eating before and after workouts? Chris. [via Ask Questions]
In Eat Before Exercising, we have covered this topic a bit, check it out. But to answer your question, well, actually, it is not easy to answer your question because it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
If you are trying to lose weight, it is a good idea to be mindful of your carbohydrate intake before and after a workout. If, on the other hand, you are trying to gain muscle, I would focus on making sure that you eat enough calories and protein to support muscle growth.
Since it is important to eat a wide variety of foods, it is not easy to give you a specific list. So, instead of trying to come up with what you need to eat before and after a workout, I recommend that you focus on eating healthy in general. Eat complex carbohydrates, variety of proteins, vegetables, healthy fats, and fruits.
In addition, find a quality post-workout drink, and use it after each exercise session.
