Good Pre-Gym Snacks?
Do you eat anything before the gym? I ususally go after work and I'd like to eat something about an hour before to give me some energy.

My trainer said to have like mixed nuts or even a spoonful of peanutbutter for some energy before working out - nothing too heavy.

they also make 100 calorie protein bars. they are not heavy like some of the others but still give you a boost before you work out.

Re: Good Pre-Gym Snacks?
fat and protein combo is the best. eggs, nuts, peanut butter, cottage cheese.

Strangely enough, I'll usually heat up a chicken breast, because I've heard that protein not only sticks with you, but having it in your system during a workout means less energy depletion. Who knows whether it works or not!
