It was asked of me to speak about Pre-workout meals on this blog by an excellent client of mine, David. He was curious as to what he should eat, and when he should eat it before our workouts.
Basically, pre workout nutrition is quite simple. You want to consume enough calories for sustenance, but not so much that you bog yourself down, and either get sick, or lethargic.
An ideal pre-workout meal would be a rather large handful of nuts, and a jelly sandwich.
You gain an ideal amount of healthy fats, protein, and quick digestion carbohydrates that will help power your workout.
Another excellent meal would be a lunch meat and cheese sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce and tomato. Included in this would be a glass of tea, orange juice, or even a Gatorade. Once again carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats allow you to power through your workout.
This meal should be consumed about 2 hours to an hour and a half before your bout of exercise.
Hope this answers the question accurately and perfectly.
Stay Fit Forever.
