]]>If you are going to work out in the morning a small snack to give you energy is recommended, but if you have time to enjoy a full meal at least two hours before then that is generally much better. Here are the best foods for you to eat before your workout to give you the results you want to see.
Bananas
Bananas are filled with carbohydrates and potassium and support nerve and muscle function, they fuel both the body and the brain and will keep you energized throughout your strength training.
Oats
Oats are packed with fiber and are slow-releasing carbs, which means your energy levels are consistent throughout your workout, so you can train for longer. Oats also contain Vitamin B, which converts carbohydrates into energy. Add some nut butter and seeds and you will be satiated, satisfied, and ready to work out.
(@ohfortheloveofoats)Apples with Peanut Butter
Sliced apples dipped in peanut butter are a great pre-workout snack, you get the carbs from the apple and the protein and fat from the peanut butter, and it will give you the energy you need.
Chicken with Rice and Vegetables
If you have a couple of hours before you work out, eating a properly balanced meal is the best thing to eat before you get started. Chicken with rice and vegetables has all the components you need before a workout.

]]>“What we always want to look at first is carbohydrates, which break down into glucose (the fancy word for sugar) in the body,” registered dietitian Alix Turoff told Popsugar. She says that an average-sized banana has 27 grams of carbs and 3 grams of protein, which may seem like a lot when you’re on a low-carb diet.
When you’re trying to lose weight, carbs are the first thing you reduce but getting your carbs from bananas is not a bad thing. Bananas contain plenty of vitamins and minerals that are good for you, such as potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, folate, etc.
As long as you enjoy bananas in moderation, there’s no reason to not include them in your healthy and balanced diet. For example, you can add half a banana to your morning oatmeal or use one small banana together with an egg to make a healthy version of breakfast pancakes.
Bananas are also a great source of fiber, so if your diet is typically not rich in fiber, bananas can help you with digestion.
