Activity Tips
What should I eat before and after a workout?
Having a small meal one to two hours pre-workout is
ideal; working out on an empty stomach won't help burn
more fat - it could even set back your efforts. Without
fuel to aid your body, exercise intensity and overall
calorie burn may actually be reduced (you could lose
muscle, too). That doesn't mean you have to carbo-
load; eating a light but filling snack could give you the
energy you need to power through. Immediately after
your sweat session, drink a glass of water to rehydrate
your body. Then, within 30 to 60 minutes, eat a meal
with lean protein and complex carbs. Carbohydrates
replace the muscle glycogen burned, and protein helps
repair the muscle breakdown that occurs during
exercise, especially during resistance training. Good
fats are not essential post-workout, but you can add
them to help you feel full longer. See Recipes box
below for meal ideas.
