Some people skip breakfast to save calories. The idea may seem logical since the less you eat, the faster you will lose weight. However, it is not as simple as that.
Yes, working out on an empty stomach offers benefits. It can increase insulin sensitivity that makes it easier to lose fats, it helps in building muscle tissue, it allows your body to be more efficient by using up its energy stores and help the body absorb carbs and protein that you eat after working out instead of storing them as fats.
I also love intermittent fasting so the only thing I like before my workouts is a little bullet proof coffee and some lemon, ginger, BCAA’s and some greens in my water.
But, doing your workout on an empty stomach may also impair your performance. Our bodies are not all the same, some of you might function better by fueling your body to have the energy to exercise as long or as intensely as you would that can lead to more calories burned.
Just a reminder though that everyone is different. The best thing you can do is check in with your body first. Some can go for a run without grabbing a bite to eat first. Others are easily tired or their energy levels start to wane halfway through the workout.
Here’s a list on what you can eat before your workout:
One hour before your workout, eat around 45 grams of carbs with a small amount of protein:
  • Half a slice of gluten-free bread with one tablespoon crunchy peanut butte
  • Quarter cup of sliced grapes mixed into half a cup of cottage cheese
  • A  small fruit smoothie made with almond milk and protein powder
  • Quarter cup of blueberries mixed with half a cup of yogurt
If you have less time, 15 to 30 minutes before your workout, eat about 25 grams of carbs:
  • Small banana
  • Handful of raisins
  • homemade applesauce
If you decide to skip out on a snack altogether, just make sure you hydrate with water.
Cheers to staying fit & healthy!
