Eat whole-grain cereals before working out to build muscle

Before and after fitness, find the right time to eat something small to replenish calories, just as it is important to eat healthy food every day to recharge your body with energy. When you eat the right food at the right time, it can more effectively help you have perfect muscle lines and achieve your fitness goals. According to a report on a foreign website (livestrong), experts revealed that when exercising, you must pay attention to the timing and types of food you eat.

Eating at the right time and with the right types of food can effectively help you stay fit and maintain your curves with less effort.

Eat at the right time and wait 2 hours after a meal

The report pointed out that the Mayo Clinic recommends that if you plan to eat a large meal before working out, you should wait at least 3 to 4 hours before working out. For a normal-sized meal, you should wait 2 to 3 hours. Small snacks such as soda crackers can be eaten before or after working out. The most important thing is to pay attention to the portion size and it is best not to exceed 3 pieces.

The Mayo Clinic points out that exercising at least 2 hours after a meal can effectively avoid gastrointestinal discomfort, cramps and diarrhea. If you eat too much food before exercising, your muscles and digestive system will compete for energy at the same time, making you feel heavy and tired. However, you can’t completely skip eating. For example, if you skip dinner if you want to exercise in the evening, your body will become weak and your reactions will slow down.

Whole-grain cereals are the best choice for carbohydrate supplementation

The Mayo Clinic also mentioned that protein and fat foods should be avoided before working out. Although both are very important for replenishing the body's energy and forming cells, because they require a longer and more stable digestion time, eating them before working out may cause stomach discomfort.

To replenish good carbohydrates before working out, whole-grain cereals are recommended as your first choice. Fresh vegetables are also good choices, but be careful with foods that are too high in fiber or sweet, such as fruits or beans that are too sweet, which may cause you to have bloating or diarrhea after working out.

People who like fitness may wish to create a schedule for themselves to record their weekly fitness and diet. With the schedule, you can try to find out what time and what to eat that will be most helpful for fitness, or what will cause discomfort. You can make corrections step by step, and I believe that the devil figure is not far away from you.
