Pre work out meals for weight loss

[coolcoolone]

Exercising for weight loss means maintaining a tricky balance. You want to eat enough to keep fueling your body and give you plenty of energy to complete those demanding workouts, but you don't want to pack on calories that could prevent you from losing the weight you want to lose. Eating lightly around half an hour before your workout will allow you to head in with maximum energy–and combining a complex carbohydrate with a lean protein is the best way to fuel your body.

Some ideas:

A banana with nut butter, especially almond butter
    Multigrain crackers with hummus
    An apple with peanut butter or a small handful of nuts
    1/2 cup pasta or rice, preferably whole grain
    Any whole piece of fruit
    1/2 cup oatmeal with raisins or berries

Keep in mind that your goal is to fuel your body through your workout. Fasting cardio won't have nearly the same results as a properly fueled workout that will drive your success up.
