foods before workout, in the morning

lets look at what may be a good eating strategy in the morning.

1. A Banana

The sugar in fruit, otherwise known as fructose is a highly digestible form of carbohydrate. The bonus with a banana is the potassium, which is known to drop during a workout. This is especially good if you only have a very short time between waking and exercising.

Most fruits offer a good choice.

2. Natural Yogurt

Yogurt is a great source of energy for exercise, as it contains some a good mixture of protein and carbohydrates. Yogurt also contains magnesium, which helps to metabolize these macronutrients.

This is great to mix with a banana and some nuts for a more complete but fast digesting breakfast option.

3. Oats or Quinoa and millet porridge

Whole grains contain plenty of fiber which means the carbohydrates you consume will release into the bloodstream more slowly, giving you an even energy through your workout.

If you want a higher protein alternative, go for a quinoa and millet option.

People digest foods at different rates, but it is usually advisable to have some time before exercising on this particular breakfast.

4. Slice of wholegrain toast with cottage cheese and a piece of fruit. (usually an apple)

This is a personal favorite of mine, as it offers a good combination of carbohydrates, a small amount of fat and some slow releasing protein. This breakfast works well when exercising at a high intensity.

It may not be everybody's cup of tea but it gives the energy required to get through a tough routine.

You would need at least an hour after eating this meal before beginning your workout.

5. A berry and orange juice


1 cup of frozen blueberries

1 cup of frozen raspberries

2 Peeled Oranges, cut into chunks

1/2 cup of whole natural yogurt

1 tablespoon of honey

Blend until smooth and drink immediately.

This is another great way of getting some carbohydrates into your system before a morning workout, although it wouldn't be recommended if your training session was too high intensity.

It is important that all the foods you consume are whole, natural and from organic sources. The wholegrain toast is the exception to the rule, but as long as you choose whole foods 90% of the time your body can tolerate 10% variations.

Try these breakfasts before exercising in the morning, then monitor which offers the best all round energy. Often it is a case of trial and error to see which breakfast strategy works for you.
