What to eat before working out

Fueling your body properly before a workout can significantly impact your performance and energy levels. Here are some pre-workout food options to consider:

Bananas: These are a great source of natural sugars, simple carbohydrates, and potassium. Eating a banana around 30 minutes to an hour before your workout can boost your muscles’ energy stores and increase blood sugar levels

Chicken, Rice & Vegetables: A classic pre-workout meal, this combination provides lean protein and complex carbohydrates. Consuming it 2-3 hours before your workout can promote muscle growth and provide slow-releasing energy

Protein Bars: Opt for a protein bar with some carbohydrates to fuel your workout and boost protein intake. Aim to eat it around an hour before exercising

Porridge and Oatmeal: A filling and nutritious pre-workout breakfast option

Remember that individual preferences and timing matter. Ideally, consume a well-balanced meal with protein, carbs, and fiber at least 2 hours before your workout. Hydrating with water is also essential before exercise.
