What you eat before your workouts can make a huge impact on how you feel and perform while training. Eating the wrong thing before you work out can cause you to feel sluggish or heavy. It can also cause stomach aches and nausea. Not eating before you train can likewise have negative effects on your energy and performance. So let’s take a look at how to avoid that by choosing the right foods before you train.

If you’re looking for a quick meal or snack that packs in a ton of flavor and nutrients, smoothies are the way to go! Smoothies are thick, creamy drinks made by puréeing fruit, fruit juice, veggies, nuts, yogurt, and other ingredients together. If you have trouble reaching your daily protein and fiber goals, smoothies can help by making these things easy to consume on-the-go. Many people enjoy smoothies for breakfast, as a snack between meals, or as a post-workout refuel. Try out these example smoothie recipes.

Casseroles are a great way to build a healthy plate at every meal. If you don’t like eating vegetables on their own, combining them with other foods in a casserole is a great way to sneak them into your diet! Use a casserole dish, Dutch oven, or some other deep, wide baking dish to prepare these example recipes.

It can be hard to get a nutritious breakfast in the morning, especially during the busy work week. Yogurt and cottage cheese make easy grab-and-go breakfasts, especially if you prep the night before. These foods are protein-packed, but you can also mix in protein powder to beef up the protein content more. Add fruit, seeds, and natural sweeteners like honey to add more flavor.

Want to enjoy your favorite fried foods with fewer calories? Using an air fryer is a great choice for achieving a similar texture and taste to deep frying while reducing the calorie and fat content of your meals. This is an excellent option for cooking items like French fries, chicken wings, or even vegetables, as it requires only a minimal amount of oil or can be used without any oil at all. Check out the example recipes in this post to make delicious, nutritious, low-calorie fried foods.

Sandwiches and wraps are great options for on-the-go nutrition. They are also super easy to prep in bulk ahead of time. Wraps can be enjoyed cold, so you don’t have to worry about warming them up before enjoying them. Check out the example recipes in this post!

Soups and stews don’t tend to require much time in the kitchen. They also often have large yields of as many as eight servings—making them a great option for meal prep. After making the initial batch, all you have to do is pop a serving in the microwave, and you’re ready to eat. Check out the recipes below in this post!
