system.otherwise you get muscle cramps, and feel heavy and lethargic, which ruins your workouts.so, if you've had a balanced meal within the last 3 hours, you don't need anything to eatbefore you workout. if it's been greater than three hours sinceyour last meal, or its first thing in the morning, have a small protein shake mixedwith water. protein shakes are the best option becausethey get the protein to the muscles quickly which prevents your body from burning hardearned muscle instead of fat. stay away from carbohydrates (especially sweetsand refined sugars) since they are your body's preferred energy source.what that means is, your body will always
burn available carbohydrates before tappinginto fat stores. so the last thing you want to do is chow down a chocolate bar, becauseyour body will burn that first, before burning any extra fat you may have.here's a quick recap. if you've had a meal within the last threehours you don't need anything to eat before your workout.if it been greater than 3 hours, or first thing in the morning have a small (â½ servingsize) protein shake mixed with water. don't mix it with juice, fruit, or even milk,for those foods are carbohydrates which is what you want to avoid prior to working out.now, i want to hear from you. what's your favorite pre-workout meal?let me know in the
