FOOD TO CONSUME BEFORE A HEAVY WORKOUT SESSION:

-
TIPS: one medium-sized banana eaten about 45 minutes to an hour before the workout is enough to keep you going.

Image result for FOOD TO CONSUME BEFORE A HEAVY WORKOUT SESSION images

Here's a list of foods that are considered ideal to eat before a workout.

BROWN RICE WITH CHICKEN:
Brown rice is absorbed slowly and is a good source of fibre and carbs while chicken is an ideal form of lean meat and protein. This is an ideal combination to consume before a workout. You would require about 200 to 300 calories. Hence, you can eat about one medium size bowl of brown rice with two pieces of chicken

YOGURT:
Yogurt contains calcium and proteins, and a bit of natural sugar is also present in small quantities. Because it is easy on the stomach and digestive system, it's a great option to consume before an intense workout. Adding some whole grain cereal, fruits or honey to yogurt will give you a quick energy boost.

PROTEIN SHAKES:
These are popular among those who hit the gym. Protein is important for overall development of the muscles, bones and even skin. For athletes and people doing regular workouts, it is fine to have a protein shake after a workout, but not every couple of hours. Remember, protein shakes can have side effects such as kidney damage. Hence, consult your doctor to know the recommended daily dose of protein intake.

OATMEAL:
Having oatmeal is great before your morning workouts, when you're running on an empty stomach and can't have a meal a couple of hours before your workout. Oatmeal is known to settle well and also be a great source of energy. If you add a dash of fruits to your oatmeal, even better.

BANANAS:
They contain sugar and starch that give energy to the body. They're also rich in carbohydrates. One medium-sized banana eaten about 45 minutes to an hour before your workout is generally enough to keep you going throughout your workout routine.

PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH/BAGEL WITH HONEY:
The trick is to opt for whole wheat or multigrain bread for the sandwich and a whole wheat bagel instead. Honey is a good source of natural sugar. If you're working out in the morning, have a brown bread peanut butter sandwich, since you've been fasting for the last eight hours.
