How obsessed are we with losing weight and some of us hit the gym for it. The greatest myth is that one should be empty stomach before a work out. However it is right the one should not be full stomach. But it is important to eat just right. One can follow the middle path. If one is empty stomach he/she will be distracted and won’t be able to workout properly as losing energy will make them hungry. The major source of fuel for the body is carbohydrate and hence it is essential to eat something that is rich in carbohydrate. One should eat easily digestible carbohydrates that can help prevent hunger pangs during the exercise.
Below are the lists of some ideal pre workout foods.
Protein Shakes
Protein shakes are one of the most popular among those who hit the gym regularly. Protein is most important to develop muscles, bones and even skin. Protein shake is good if you don’t get adequate amount from natural sources. However do not have protein shake every hour as too much of it can damage your kidneys.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is known to settle well and is also a great source of energy. If you can add some fruits to your oatmeal, that will be even better. Oatmeal is light and great to have before workouts.
Yogurt
Curd contains calcium and proteins and a bit of natural sugar, all present in small quantities. It is easily digestible and a great option to eat before a good workout. Adding some whole grain, cereals and fruits will give quick energy boost.
Brown Rice with Chicken
This is for those who workout in the evening. While majority of people workout in the morning before heading to office or college, there are few who prefer evening time. Brown rice is absorbed slowly and is a good source of fiber and carbohydrate, while chicken is an ideal form or lean meat and protein. Thus the combination is ideal before workout.
Bananas
Bananas are rich in sugar and starch and give energy to body. They are also very rich in carbohydrate. One medium sized banana should be eaten 45minutes before workout would be enough. It is like adding fuel to the body before workout.
Granola Bars
Eating pre exercise bars mean you will have more reserves during the workout. Energy bars have carbohydrates, which give energy to the body.
Peanut butter sandwich

Well these were some options for ideal pre work food, you can have more if you just remember that all you need is carbs that will give you energy, however do not eat a lot as it will get difficult to workout with full stomach.
