So you may be wondering what is the best food to eat before working out? This is so important to get right as it will effect how you train and in the long run will enable you to achieve better results. I am writing this post to help anyone who is serious about knowing how to get best results from gym workouts. As a female personal trainer, passionate about female bodybuilding and helping women learn how to get a toned body they can be proud of, I am going to tell you my top 3 foods to eat before training.
Everyone’s goal is different. Some of you may want to know the best foods to eat to lose belly fat. Others may be wondering how to get a bikini body fast, or maybe you are thinking of looking at a ladies figure competition?
As a busy mum of 3, I understand how frustrating it can be sometimes……
Over the last 20 years, I have tried and tested many diets, supplements and fat burning foods. So I am now sharing my knowledge on what works best as I love to help others achieve amazing results and feel happier and more confident.
Before I tell you the best food to eat before training….
Ask yourself also…. Have you got the best training routine for you? Maybe you need some personal trainer tips for beginners? Have you got a specific plan on the best way to lose weight? (If that is what you are aiming for). These are just some other things to consider which you need to be clear about to achieve best results and keep them long term.
Ok so my top 3 foods to eat before training;
- Oats, protein powder & blueberries
- Chicken, wrap & salad
- Tuna, pasta & vegetables
These are Simple quick food ideas which contain good carbs & protein essential for your best pre workout meal. Alternatives would be pre workout drink, pre workout snack or pre workout supplements if pushed for time.
I can assure you, if you consume any of the options above 60-90 minutes before working out, your energy will be better and you will feel able to make the most out of your time in the gym. I use my top 3 foods to eat before training every day.
Of course, your food plan the rest of the time needs to be balanced so you can reach your goal. This does not mean time consuming meal prep! Simple recipes and foods for breakfast, lunches and dinners and quick healthy snacks in between can be easier than you think. Follow the advice of someone who has been there and done it and kept their results long term.
You do not have to settle for a figure you are not happy with. Do not over-complicate this….. regular exercise including resistance training, a healthy balanced food plan which works and a positive mindset is all you need!
