before you're workout
Avoid eating the last 1,5 hours before your workout. An energetic meal can often make you weak over the next 30-45 minutes after the ingestion and you might also get a stomach ache during the exercise.
So, a few hours before your workout:
Charge with a balanced diet of both carbohydrates and protein.Studies have shown that simple carbs (white bread, energy drinks, wheat products, sugar) will stop the fat burn directly, and the body will almost only burn carbohydrates instead of fat. So eat slow/complex carbs, not simple.
And take notice:
1. The meal shouldn’t contain much fats.
2. Eat enough so you don’t get hungry again before your workout starts.
Examples of some recipies you can try before you start you're workouts :)
2 finn crisp with cottage cheese and pepper, 1 egg or 3 egg whites + 1 cup of cottage cheese with seeds, rolled oats and goji berries.
Oatmeal with berries and cinnamon + a protein boost smoothie (egg whites, quark, yoghurt, frozen berries and half a banana)
Bulgur or quinoa with oven baked chicken, broccoli and cottage cheese.
Omelette (1 egg, 3 egg whites, 1/4 onion, 3 tablespoons milk, sliced turkey or shrimps, rep pepper, 2 tablespoons cottage cheese + some black pepper)
15-25 minutes after training: The muscles are broken down after the workout, so you need a quick fill for them to be rebuilt and for the body to get a good chance to recover. What you should eat is a combination of easily absorbed protein and carbohydrates.
Here’s 4 great post workout refills:
- A proteinshake and possibly a banana
- A smoothie (mix 3 egg whites, frozen raspberries, 3-4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup/2 dl milk or natural yoghurt)
- Cottage cheese with seeds and half a banana.
- Quark mixed with berries and a little stevia. Top it with rolled oats.
