Ready to sweat? Not so fast! Here, the best foods to eat After workout, so you can fuel up the right way.
- Before:-
"The whole egg, too. Packed full of protein and amazing benefits,
throwing away the yolk is a big no no. It's packed full of essential nutrients".
2. Tuna Salad
"You should never aim to eliminate carbs from your diet completely, but if you’re doing cardiovascular exercise and trying to lose weight it’s best not to eat carbohydrate rich foods right before you workout. Why? Because if your body is depleted of glycogenstores, it will prioritize burning FAT for energy. For this reason, I would say to do cardio on an EMPTY STOMACH if you train very early on in the day, or opt for a protein pre-workout meal such as chicken breast with spinach,chicken omelette, or a green leafy tuna salad"
3. A Nutty/Seedy Smoothie
"Seeds and nuts are high in protein and good fats, which will mean they take longer to digest. But eat too many & you could feel yourself slowing down and feeling sluggish as you work out. Blending them up to make the smoothie or shake helps to speed up their digestion. a homemade greens & super-food smoothie or a nutty shake. Both of which, with the right ingredients, can provide a quick and easy to digest hit of good carbs, fibre, protein and water. The healthy sugars from the fruit provide a quick energy boost while seeds and nuts will keep your energy levels from dropping mid-workout."
4. Spirulina
"Antioxidant rich foods such as dark leafy greens, berries and superfoods such as spirulina and acai are good
pre-workout to help combat the oxidative stress created by training -this boosts the immune system and helps protect against signs of ageing."
- After:-
1. Sweet Potato With Salmon
"After working out, your glycogen levels can drop. Eating sweet potatoes will help to restore them and, as they are complex carbohydrates, they will also give you slow releasing energy to help boost your energy during the day. Salmon has similar advantages to eating chicken and veg. However, salmon has bioactive peptides. These are small protein molecules and help to reduce inflammation, regulate your insulin levels and support your joints".
2. Quinoa, Sweet Potato And Salad
This meal is a protein-packed surprise. Hummus, is made from chickpeas and like all beans, is a great balance of carbs and protein. As is Quinoa a south American grain that is becoming really popular here due to its high protein & nutritional profile, and its versatility".
3. Blueberries
"Berries have a lower glycemic index than other fruits and will therefore not cause such a dramatic spike in your blood glucose levels. They are also very high in antioxidants which will help to repair free radical damage caused by exercise".
4. Avocado On Toast
"If you are eating more than 60minutes/around 1.5 hours after exercise, aim for a balance of protein, fats and low GI carbs - Avocado,hummus and tomato on German ryeToast is a simple breakfast, or lunch option on a workout day."
