Question
Are you looking for the Best Question Of The Week?
What is the best meal or food or liquids to take right before and after a workout?
Answer
What to Eat Before You Exercise?
You do not want to eat a high calorie meal or fatty meal before a workout; it will make you feel sluggish, and or pukie.
The best pre-workout meals are higher in carbohydrates; meals such as oatmeal, yogurt, or peanut butter toast on whole wheat bread are great pre-workout meals.
What to Eat After You Exercise?
After a good workout your body is starving for proteins, so a meal high in protein, i.e. chicken, turkey, or lean meats, would be a good idea. You also want to consider the number of calories you are taking in. You would not want to counterbalance the calories you burned while exercising.
Two products I would recommend to assist you are a meal replacement shake, and a protein supplement called catalysts, that are distributed through Advocare.
Good luck and Thanks for the question,
