    Pre-Workout Diet: What to Eat Before Exercise?

According to WebMD, sports nutritionist experts suggest that there is no one specific diet for pre-workout. Rather, you should focus on things like low fat, moderate amount of carbs, protein, low fiber, fluid. You should consume quality carbs, lean protein, healthy fats before exercise. Carbs can be obtained from bread, cereals, pasta, rice, fruits, vegetables etc. to provide quick energy to the muscles. But eat light and do not try anything new.

Otherwise, you may have to face some unknown problem. About two cups of water must be drunk two hours before exercising.

What to drink during exercise?

According to experts, water is enough during exercise, which helps in keeping the body hydrated. But if you're exercising for more than 60 minutes and in hot and humid weather, you can get enough sodium, carbs, and fluids from drinking sports drinks..A good sports drink should contain about 14-15 grams of carbs, about 110 milligrams of sodium and 30 milligrams of potassium in 250 milliliters. But, if you want to lose weight, then drink only water during exercise or a sports drink with less carbs and calories.

Post-Workout Diet: What to eat after exercise?

Protein-rich foods, shake or chocolate milk should be consumed after exercise in the post-workout diet. You can also eat boiled eggs for this. But keep in mind that eating too much protein will not be of any benefit. You should consume about 10 to 20 grams of protein in post workout diet. At the same time, it is more beneficial to consume protein within half an hour of exercise..

Nutrition Tip: If you do light exercise like jogging or brisk walking, then you can do the work by drinking only water on an empty stomach. But, if you do a little heavy exercise, then definitely take a toast, a banana or a glass of fruit juice.
