MY TOP 5 pre-workout meals
Some delicious meals that you can make at home to help with your workout!
MEALS IMPORTANT?
Okay, so before we begin I need to explain what pre-workout meals are and why they are so important.
A pre-workout meal is the meal you consume 30 minutes – 2 hours before a physically demanding workout and the reason for this meal is to provide you with long lasting sustainable energy for you to utilise during the workout. Without pre-workout meal your training intensity will drop from lack of energy and you will not be using the training time to the fullest potential.
So………
Now we know what a pre-workout meal is and why we need it, what do we eat for it? Depending on what your goals are for the workout the weight and Calories of this meal will change. So, if you wanted to build muscle this meal would usually be higher in Calories than if you wanted to burn fat. Either way you’re looking for a good source of protein and some Lower GI (Glycaemic index) carbohydrates.
