The extra energy helps you work harder and burn more calories! 💪

To some extent, it comes down to what works best for you."Some," Audra said,"but the benefits of a pre-workout snack are many." Besides helping you perform better, eating before a workout can help you avoid injury and improve your body composition over time, Audra explained. With that in mind, if you wake up hungry, definitely grab a bite; if you don't, head to the gym and see how you feel.

For a pre-workout, weight-loss-optimized snack, go for a 3:1 carb-to-protein ratio for cardio exercise and a 2:1 ratio for strength training, Audra said."The key is to keep fiber and fat content low," she explained. Fiber speeds up your digestion and fat slows it down. Too much of either before a workout can upset your stomach or have you running to the bathroom.

For cardio, your body's main source of energy is glycogen, which is a stored form of glucose that you get by."Glycogen is stored in the muscles to use when those muscles are activated in activities like walking, running, using the elliptical or bike," Audra explained. Going into cardio with depleted glycogen stores might make you feel lethargic and unable to complete your workout.
