Dietary Fat – Fat takes the longest to digest, so your pre-workout meal should be relatively low in fat.
Protein – Pre workout meals containing protein provide us with a major benefit- the prevention of muscle catabolism. By consuming a good source of protein before a workout you can give your body the amino acids- branched chain amino acids in particular, that it needs to prevent muscle breakdown, whilst aiding muscle recovery and growth.
Carbohydrates – There are tow types of carbohydrates simple, high GI carbohydrates and complex, low GI carbohydrates… but which one is best pre workout? This ultimately depends on your goal and the time of your pre workout meal. Simple carbohydrates are great for 30 minutes to an hour before a workout as they provide the body with fast acting glucose as fuel.
Proteins, Carbs and Fats are all very important to consume before (up to 2 1/2 hours max) you start working out.
