What to eat before and after a workout!
Hello everyone! How are you?
I hope you had a nice weekend!!
Today I decided to make a post about fitness! If you workout at home or at a gym you'll probably know how important it is eating before and after you workout! So this post is about some examples of what you can eat before and after you workout! Hope you'll enjoy it!
1)
BEFORE:Whole weat toast with sliced banana and cinnamon.
When it comes to gearing up for workout, carbs are your gym BFF.The key is to have a mixed bag of complex and simple ones so that the release of energy during your workout is slow and steady throughout your routine. Whole-weat toast with fruit gives you both types of carbs with the bonus of being super easy to digest. Complex carbs will keep your motor humming, while the fruit adds an extra kick of energy!
AFTER:Grilled chicken and mixed vegetables.
Your body is in recovery mode, so you need a nutrient dense dish.The lean protein and carbohydrates in chicken will fill you up without feeling overly bloated. Add some vegies in olive oil to keep your ticket in tip top shape.
2)
BEFORE:Greek yogurt and trail mix.
Getting ready for a long run?Eat some yogurt first. It's easy on your stomach and when paired with trail mix can give you the little rev your body needs. Just make sure to choose a mix that is mostly nut and dried fruit based with as little fillers as possible.
AFTER:Veggie omelet with avocado.
Oatmeal is the workout buddy you never have to nug to exercise.It sticks with you throughout your workout by gradually releasing sugar into your bloodstream. Adding fruit to your bowl will help increase the fluid content of your pre-workout snack, keeping you hydrated.
AFTER:Whole weat tuna fish,hummus and spinach sandwich.
I hope you had a nice weekend!!

You probably already know eggs are a great source of protein and help aid in muscle recovery and growth.Switch it up from the usual scramble and make a veggie-packed omelet.Garnish with a few slices of avocado for fiber and monosaturated fats (the good kind).
3)
BEFORE:Oatmeal with fresh fruit.
AFTER:Whole weat tuna fish,hummus and spinach sandwich.
If you're a lunchtime exerciser, this is the sandwich for you.Tuna is low in calories, but high in protein and carbs. Hummus is a better -for-you spread over mayo or mustard, while also being high in fiber.
