Before Workout Meal

I usually workout post lunch, which would be anywhere between 4 - 5 pm, and that is why i make sure that i have some food that keeps me energetic while I workout. We have many Pre-Workout Supplements in the market, most of them are real good for you. However there are few food, which we can have before workout which can provide you good amount of energy to keep you lifting.

I have listed few of them which I have added in my diet. If you do some check on internet you will find 100s of other items which would do the same magic. But yeah, these ones are something I have tried, and have given a good results.

• Banana: Bananas are very rich in fast-acting carbohydrates that will provide you with usable fuel for a workout, and the supply of potassium aids in maintaining muscle and nerve function. Eating Banana before 45 mins or workout will give you a good result. 

• Oats : Oats contains a good amount of Fibers, which will slowly provide energy through out your workout. Adding some fruits will also provide a good boost, as it will hit your bloodstream quickly, which in all will provide a good level of energy from start to end of your workout session.

• Whole Wheat Bread : Whole wheat, is another good source of Complex Carbs, less fats than white Bread. Also my experience is, with white bread I get Heart Burn , where as Brown Bread is easy on stomach. With Brown bread you can, have slices of boiled egg, or Jam, or Honey, which will be a perfect fuel from start to end of your workout.

• Brown Rice + Chicken : Brown Rice is a good source of Complex Carbs, which would provide you energy all the time you workout. Additionally Chicken, is a good source of Protein, hence both of these would give you a balanced amount of Carbs and Proteins, that will keep your energy level up and will also fuel your muscle and provide a fast recovery.

• Caffeine : A moderate amount of caffeine before exercise can help you enjoy your workout more, research has found. It can also enhance your energy and reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. An Espresso or 1 Cup of coffee can be a great pre-workout boost if you're used to it. If you check most of the Pre-Workout Supplements in the market contains Caffeine.

Hope these meals help you guys as well as it do for me. Once again :), these are not like supplements which will keep to the peak of performance, but yeah this will provide you some sort of energy that can last throughout your workout. If you all have some suggestions, please comment.
