What should i eat before exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Really depends on the goal of exercise. In general it is a good idea to eat a 200-300 calorie snack 1-2 hours before exercising so that you can have energy to get the most out of your exercise routine. After exercise it is important to eat some protein and carbohydrates to aid recovery. Many find this counterintuitive, but you really do need to fuel your body to get the most out of your workouts!
