Q: What should I intake before a workout?
A: Well, it's loosely based on what TYPE of workout you are doing, but about 90% of the time, and 4 out of 5 of us should be ingesting CARBS before a workout. 20 minutes prior is best, because you're body has digested most of the carb, and it's being circulated for energy. Your body turns carbs into sugar, which it then uses as energy. Fruit, nuts, or wholewheat bread is good...If you eat too much carbs, and don't exercise enough, your body will store the sugar as FAT!!
Q: What should I intake after a workout?
A: Simple. PROTEIN and more carbs. If you're strictly weight/resistance training, then just PROTEIN, and at least 30 grams of it. If you had a long cardio workout, like a run, or bike ride, you'll want to replenish your muscles with CARBS & PROTEIN. Lean meat, Fish, brown rice, and/or a protein shake are optimal forms of protein and carbs.
