What two things should be found in your pre and post workout meals?

Posted January 25, 2015 by PTI Admin

Pre and post workout meals should both include a carbohydrate and a protein. Carbohydrates refuel your energy stores in your muscle, and protein allows for muscle use, repair, and synthesis. Great choices for pre workout meals are yogurt and almonds, fruit, or a bagel and peanut butter. Great post workout meals include cottage cheese and fruit, eggs and whole grain toast, or vegetables and brown rice. Also, don’t forget to drink water before, during, and after your workout!
