What is the optimal pre & post-workout meals? What should they contain?
Pre-workout: Stick to carbs & protein. Avoid high-fat items. I like to do egg white omelets with lots of veggies & toast.
Post-workout: protein & carb (quick digesting) e.g protein smoothie
Take-Home Points;
Your body needs carbs to fuel your working muscles.
Protein is there to help build and repair Your muscles.
Get a combination of the protein and carbs in your body 1 to 3 hours pre-workout and within approximately 20 minutes post-workout.
