Starting your fitness journey - When and what to eat! 05

This is definitely one of the most asked questions i get!

What do I eat before my gym session? How long after eating can i work out? what can i eat after?

What do I eat before a gym session?

Carbs and fibre! Carbohydrates are the main sources of energy in the body, lack of carbs would make on feel fatigued but too much can make you tired and just want to sleep!

You can indulge in oats, quinola, whole wheat breads, weetabix; It is better to stick to whole grain products.

How long after eating can i work out? 

You should give yourself a good 2-3 hours after eating the complex type of carbs before working out. You will get the most out of the energy, and chances of cramping will be greatly reduced.

For those who want to eat something 30 minutes before a workout, a banana or kiwi (or both) is a great option!
Banana offers the potassium aids in balancing the ph level and electrolytes in the body reducing your chances of muscle cramps!

They also work very well as a post workout drink, replacing lost potassium.

What can i eat after?

Protein, protein protein. We all remember from school, Protein helps with Growth and repair.
After working those muscles, you want to build on repairing! Protein is the best source!

You want to eat meals like grilled turkey, fish chicken, or even peanuts.
