Should You Eat Before a Workout? Breaking Down the Macros

^{Published on 2025-03-06 11:23:17 - AOL}

For morning workouts. Keep pre-workout breakfasts light and quick with a banana, a piece of toast (whole-grain bread preferred) with jam, or a small smoothie or protein shake 30 to 60 minutes before. Batch your breakfasts out in advance if you usually feel rushed in the morning.

The article from AOL titled "Eat to Workout: Breaking Down Macros for Optimal Fitness" discusses the importance of understanding macronutrients (macros) for enhancing workout performance and achieving fitness goals. It explains that macros include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, each playing a crucial role in energy provision, muscle repair, and overall health. Proteins are vital for muscle repair and growth, carbohydrates are the primary energy source for high-intensity workouts, and fats support hormone function and provide sustained energy. The article provides insights on how to balance these nutrients based on different fitness objectives like muscle building, weight loss, or endurance training. It also touches on the concept of tracking macros, offering tips on how to calculate and adjust intake according to one's activity level, body type, and specific fitness goals, emphasizing that individual needs can vary significantly.
