Morning Workouts
Your body burns calories and nutrients while you
sleep. If you work out first thing in the morning, you’ll need a bit of
refreshment first. We recommend you eat a
carb-loaded snack about 20 minutes before your workout. Between 75 and
100 percent of your snack should be composed of carbs. If you plan on
exercising for more than 40 minutes, add some protein to your snack and
give yourself at least an hour to digest it.
Early Snacks
We recommend eating a single piece of fruit
such as a banana, orange or apple. You might also snack on carrot sticks
or chug a glass of juice or a sports drink. If you’re aiming for a long
cardio session, add some yogurt, an egg, a slice of cheese or a small
piece of meat -- this protein will help power you through a longer
workout.
