Pre Workout Meal

Sometimes the most simple blog posts have the most nutritional value. This next meal is all about not having too much calorie intake, but having a lot of B Vitamin in the meal itself. What B Vitamin does is boosts the conversion of  carbohydrates into energy, something that is key when you are working out. 

This meal is going to contain about 2-3 cups of any type of granola, for me I like to pick the 100% Organic granolas at Alfalfa's, but it's really up to you. Even with having oats, you can improve the nutritional value of your meal simply by adding this dairy product: Yogurt (preferably Chobani Greek Yogurt). I eat yogurt because it is low in fat, it's dairy so it contains a lot of calcium for strong bones, and including potassium as well, which as we have discussed before you must keep at a high level of potassium before it is lowered during a workout. 

Here's an interesting link I found that goes over how "skipping breakfast" is not as important as you would think. Furthermore, Dr. James Hamblin goes on to explain, it's not when you eat, it's what you eat.
