Pre-Workout Snacks: fuel for speed, prepare for recovery!!

Fuel for speed, prepare for recovery!!

Achieved by: A snack that is high carbohydrate, moderate to high protein, low fat and low fibre, eaten 1-2 hours pre-WOD. Any closer than 1 hour and you are unlikely to get the benefit of the extra energy in the WOD as the food won’t be digested. And the food may still be sitting in your stomach, slowing you down as it digests and risking vomit central if you happen to be in a spicy workout…

Great snacks:

  • Savoury

Beef jerky

Bagel + low fat cream cheese + ham

Sourdough toast + scrambled egg whites 

  • Caffeinated

Keep for another time:

  • Salads, lentils, pulses … too much fibre.

  • Burgers, pizza, ice cream, ribs, chips, chocolate … too much fat.
