Food is fuel and what you eat plays a major role in how well you’ll be able to perform during exercise. As you may know already, all foods aren’t created equal. In order to maximize energy and fat burn while you’re at the gym, try these pre-workout food ideas:
- Whole wheat toast with sliced banana
- Greek Yogurt and trail mix
- Fruit smoothie
- Oatmeal with blueberries (or fresh fruit)
- Apple wedges with almond butter
All of these food options are a great combination of complex and simple carbs that will promote a slow and steady release of energy throughout your routine.
