PRE AND POST WORKOUT SNACK GUIDE

Tip of the day: Today, there is a lot of information on nutrition. Opinions will differ from author to author. So here is a few tips from some of my favorite Authors : Tudor Bompa and Paul Chek.

How about a little Troubleshoot guide on Pre and Post Workout snacks.

Q.What should i take before a workout?
A.Make a Protein Shake (50 to 60 ounce)and add Banana and Berries.

-Drink 10 to 15 ounce before workout of mix (30mins before)
-If your taking Caffeine or Pre-Workout, its better to take it as the training starts(to avoid an energy crash!)

Q.What should i take after the workout?
A.Immediatly after you may take a yogurt to bring back the balance of the body from a negative to a positive((MacDougall and Al.,1995)

-Then take sips of the rest of the shake following the session.

Now as far as yogurt goes, Paul Chek recommends avoiding yogurts with fruit added as sugar is also added to the mix. Second the fruit added may also be over-ripened or too damaged to sell in the stores!(Eat,Move and be healthy! .,Paul Chek)

So the tip is: go organic on this one! I like ''Kefir'' its not a bad brand
