"The Best Snacks to Have Before a Workout" by @lifehacker
A good amount of exercise can burn a lot of calories, so you often need a little extra to avoid feeling excessively hungry. So you reach for a snack, but you want that snack to be healthy. Here's what you should eat before a workout if you need a little extra boost.
Las Vegas-based nutritionist Andy Bellatti explains:
"About 1 hour before starting your workout, you want to snack on high-quality carbohydrates that will provide steady energy (think an apple, a banana, oatmeal) as well as a small amount of lean protein (protein sources that are also high in fat are not a good idea pre-workout because they will bog you down; if you are vegetarian or vegan, skip the nuts and instead opt for edamame or a smoothie made with a plant-based protein powder)."
While you might want to reach for a small meal, some cereal, or some kind of crappy processed food, you shouldn't. Keep quality carbohydrates and sources of protein around so you can grab a quick snack when you need one. That way you'll be ready to exercise and won't get too hungry afterwards.
