Just joined the gym or doing work out with moderate intensity? Time has come to change your diet thought, sadly most people don’t feed enough to their bodies’ pre or post workouts. Confused on how much to consume for daily exercises, we will help you figure out.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, adults require moderate aerobic activity a week for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes, along with two days of muscle strengthening exercises. To power your workout, you should focus on recovering from the exercise as well which is by increasing calorie consumption on the days you work out and reducing it on the days you don’t.
If exercising regularly, increase protein intake like protein rich foods like legumes, brown rice, nuts, quinoa and peas. Eat fruits, drink almond milk or oats milk along with rich carbohydrates. Avoid Wheat for good. Eat lots of green vegetables.
Medical Daily recommends that you consume a balance of protein and carbohydrates about 30 to 60 min before you start your workout. If you don’t have enough time, have it 5 to 10 min before workout.
