With this installment of our Nutrition Series, we are talking about snacks.
Most people want to eat snacks right before exercise in order to fuel their workout. Some people can even eat during their workouts and feel fine. While others can't even look at food before a workout without feeling ill during their session. It’s important to do what feels best for you. A general starting point for most is that snacks shortly before exercising probably won’t give you an energy boost, but they can help maintain blood sugar levels which will help you keep your focus during your workout.
Some good snack options include low sugar natural energy bars, yogurt, and peanut butter sandwiches. Basically something with a little big of complex carbs and a little bit of protein.
Remember you can try some snacks from 1st Phorm with the $7 bundle where you get a Phorm Energy, Protein Stick, and Level-1 bar!
