Pre And Post Workout Meals, Does It matter?
Everyone knows that athletes must plan and time their meals and nacks very carefully to reach their performance goals.
So, what about the rest of us average fitness enthusiasts who workout regularly?
We try to squeeze in 30-60 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Right? Do we have to be careful about what we eat before and after our workouts, too?
Well, here’s what some of the professionals have to say about the best way to eat, especially after a workout.
If you’re eating a healthy diet and getting enough calories to support your activity level, they say that we can probably rely on our own appetite, energy levels,
and experience to tell us whether we need to eat anything before or after exercise and what it should be. The basic rule here is: Find out what works best for us, and do that.
Well, this sounds like we need to experiment a bit, huh?
Obviously, there are some advantages to knowing how our body works and what it needs to perform at its best. The bottom line for healthy weight loss and fitness sounds simple: We must eat fewer calories than we use up — but not fewer than our body needs to function at its best. In other words, we must never go too low in our calorie needs because this could trigger the starvation mode and slow down the metabolism.
The professionals say that the size, timing, and content of our pre- and post-exercise meals and snacks can play an important role in our energy levels during our workout, how well our body recovers and rebuilds after our workout, and whether the calories we eat will be used as fuel or stored as fat.
