Pre-Workout Meal

As important as it is to fuel the body after a workout, it is just as important to have a pre-workout meal that's going to give you sustainable energy to push yourself to limit. If some don't know, eating carbohydrates before a workout is vital to gain the most energy possible for a workout. Our first meal of the deal is going to be peanut butter and bananas on whole wheat toast. What's important about this meal is that we are trying to consume simple and complex carbohydrates, which are key in obtaining a lot of energy before working out. After heating a piece of whole wheat toast (perfect for carbohydrates and for digesting) take one whole banana and slice it in to small individual pieces. Bananas are important before a workout because when you break a sweat your potassium levels are lowered, so we must make sure they are high to begin with. 

Ingredients/Serving

• One slice whole wheat toast
• one banana
• one table spoon of peanut butter

Overall, whole wheat toast should give you a good source of fiber for digestion, while the banana will help raise your potassium levels, as well as the peanut butter for protein.
