Nutrition before weight training

The Secret

Fortunately, there are no secrets in nutrition! The recipe is simple and tested. A pre-workout meal should be low in fat, high in protein and BCAA amino acids to increase protein synthesis during and after exercise. It is also good to be rich in low-glycemic carbohydrates because they are slowly released into the blood to fill the glycogen stores in the muscles and withstand the fatigue of training.

Meal Ideas

Banana before training. A burst of energy in the body.

The banana is full of "good" carbohydrates, i.e. the perfect fuel for the body, while at the same time it is rich in potassium, which helps the smooth functioning of muscles and nerves. The body doesn't normally store potassium for long, so a medium banana before a workout keeps potassium levels up.

Yogurt with honey or fruit before training

Fruits are rich in carbohydrates, and yogurt with high biological value protein. That is, the best combination for before training, since fruits help in better absorption of protein by the muscles both during and after the end of training. Honey is one of the richest foods both in terms of energy and nutrition, containing more than 70 different substances, necessary both for providing energy to the body and for its proper functioning. In general, it is known that honey gives strength and energy to the body, regulates metabolism and shields the immune system, thus promoting health.

Omelet with vegetables

An ideal choice for those who go to training after breakfast, the omelette with vegetables offers high biological value protein and good carbohydrates due to the vegetables.
