EASY SIMPLE NUTRITION

When it comes to knowing what to eat for pre-workout nutrition it can be a daunting list of what you should and shouldn’t eat.

Here is a simple to understand list of the best choices to maximize your gym time!

PRE-WORKOUT NUTRITION FOR STARTERS

Finish eating at least 60 minutes before training to give enough time for digestion to take place. While training you want blood to flow freely to your working muscles and not be in your gut digesting food.

Consume a fast digesting protein source to stimulate protein synthesis prior to training. This will help establish a greater muscle protein turnover rate (building lean muscle mass) and prevent muscle protein breakdown (muscle loss).

PROTEIN

Protein Powder ISO-100 by Dymatize is an excellent choice.

Chicken

Egg Whites

Fish

Tofu

Eat a moderate amount of carbohydrates to provide your body with readily available energy to make it through a hard training session.

CARBOHYDRATES

Oats

Cream of Rice

Sprouted Grains

Potato

Add in a small amount of dietary fat. Doing this helps to keep blood sugar stable, and prevents the chance of going hypoglycemic during training because the added fat will slow the entry of glucose into the bloodstream.
