Trainer’s Tip
Dahdri McCormick
When is the best time to eat? Before or after a workout?
The two most important times to eat are when you wake up and after you train. You need fuel in your system to train, and if you don't consume some sort of breakfast, you'll be running out of steam later. "Make sure the majority of your breakfast consists of carbs, with some protein, maybe in the form of egg whites, thrown in for good measure," says Jacqueline R. Berning, Ph.D., R.D., an assistant professor at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. "Low-fat yogurt, or milk and cereal, would also fit the bill." It's equally critical to refuel immediately after you train, when your body's cells are most receptive to replenishing the energy they just spent. A premade drink containing both carbs and protein will satisfy immediate postworkout needs in the short run. A more substantial meal, however, consisting of complex carbohydrates and a complete protein (chicken breast contains a better amino-acid profile than egg whites, for example) should be consumed within 90 minutes of a workout. Women typically don't consume enough protein and a good rule of thumb is "have a protein before noon".
