Eating a small snack before a workout will help fuel you for an intense workout.  However, avoid sugar.  Instead, your snack should be in high in carbs and low in fat and easy to digest so that your stomach isn't unsettled.  Try a small banana or 1/2 a Power Bar or a slice of wheat toast with peanut butter. Don't wait to eat after you work out.  Refuel with the right kinds of foods, such as protein, to make sure you recover quickly, build muscle tissue and enable your muscles to work better the next time you exercise.

Suggestions:

Whole wheat bagel/toast, poached eggs, grilled chicken, Greek yogurt, steamed veggies, salad with fish/chicken, whole wheat pasta, fruit.

Drinking a whey protein shake right after a workout is the best time to get protein into your body. This will help build muscle (ask any bodybuilder) and begin the healing process to repair your muscles after an intense workout.  Protein shakes only take about 30 minutes to reach the muscle after ingestion.  Don't forget about your liquids for pre/post and during your workouts. You need to rehydrate your body by drinking WATER.  If you work out for longer than 90 minutes at a time, we recommend drinking a sports drink with electrolytes (such as Gatorade or G2).

You'll need the energy to keep you going.
