Pre-Workout Meal

YOUR PRE-WORKOUT MEAL

Not sure what to eat before a good sweat session? You're not alone. Unless you're doing Bikram or a long-distance run or ride the recommendation is pretty standard.

• Consume light meal/snack 60-90 minutes before workout
• Consisting of healthy carbs and protein (2:1 ratio)
• Great options are; dried fruit and nut bars, banana or apple with peanut butter, half whole grain toast with 1 T peanut butter, etc
• 150-200 calories 
• At least 4-6 grams of protein and fiber.
• And water, water, water of course!

Although the guidelines for your post-workout meal vary a little, it's just as important.

And if you're a coffee drinker...try a half cup or so an hour before your workout. Countless studies have shown that when coffee is consumed (due to the caffeine) participants not only work at a higher intensity but for a longer duration as well.

So nosh your favorite pre-workout snack while sipping your favorite cup of Joe and you're bound to burn through some cellulite wink emoticon
