Best way to eat before serious exercise?
Carbs are good for slow release energy.

Marathon runners on the other hand like Raisins, they provide a quick release of energy for the start of the race, they don't fill you up or divert too much energy into digestion. Worth a try.
Reply:eat protein's 1/1,5 hour's before fitness.
Reply:I just have something light before exercising in the evening and have my meal when I get home otherwise there's a chance you may see it again if you have it before you exercise!
Reply:As already mentioned, pasta is a favourite. Keep it simple and don't overload with lots of garlic sauce and it will repeat on you (and noone will want to exercise beside you!). Add a bit of chicken or fish, whatever you normally have. Finish off with a banana, they always fill me up for ages and give me energy. Don't exercise for at least and hour later, and of course have loads of water before and during exercise.
Reply:lots of pasta. lots and lots of past

you want high carbs but also protein so try made some alfredo noodles if your stomach can handle the cheese sauce if not look for other pastas with meat in it.
Reply:There are simple carbohydrates that are digested quickly and give you energy quickly but also burn off quickly, and there are complex carbohydrates that are digested more slowly and give you a steady supply of energy. Simple carbohydrates are found in sweets, soft drinks, and fruits; complex carbohydrates are found in bread, pasta, nuts, and vegetables. Eat complex carbohydrates about 30-45 minutes before you start your work out. It also might be good if you eat protein about 3 hours before your workout. Immediately after your work out, eat lots of protein again.
Reply:Well it is all about diet, complex carbs/low Gi index foods prior training. Set your day out from the morning. Pasta is ok but you want whole grains before training. Simple carbs after to replace depleted stores quickly and feed that muscle break down, found in white bread for example. Consume those complex carbs approx one to one hour and half before training and high Gi foods with protein within20 Min's after. As always those fats take a back seat, but they should NOT, essential to a balanced diet again its mono-saturated fats found in nuts that play a major part in well being. If your hungry eat a handful of nuts before training and snack on dried fruits. I could go on for ages,but this gives you a general gist. Level 4 rugby rugby coach and nutritionist!
Reply:Simple carbohydrates.



Have complex carbs around an hour after exercise.





P.S.. You should look at your whole day's diet to improve stamina when training rather than limiting it to just before exercise.
Reply:Load up with carbs, but good ones. IE a banana + half a bagel; toast with cereal, etc. Give it some protein too. Wait at least 45 minutes after eating for food to settle. Go do your thing. After you're done exercising, you have about 45 minutes to replenish the carbs and proteins your muscles are screaming for, so give them just that.
Reply:i'd leave it an hour to settle

and im not sure about the other bit
Reply:Have plenty of carbs up until about an hour before.. and then just before training have a few pieces of chocolate or sweets or a biscuit for burst of energy. Then after have protein.



Carbs = Pasta, Potatos, bread,



Protein = Fish, Eggs, other Meats



PS, Bubble is wrong.. you shouldn`t have Carbs after exercise... well you could but it would have no benefit.
Reply:Use your hands and put the food into your mouth, at least 1 hour before exercise.
