Pre workout meal of the day🥰🥰

#preworkoutmeal #legday #gymlifestyle

1/14 Edited to

From my own experience, what you eat before a workout can truly make or break your session, especially when it comes to leg day, which requires a lot of energy and stamina. I usually aim for a pre-workout meal that combines complex carbs and lean protein about 60-90 minutes before hitting the gym. This helps me avoid energy crashes and stay focused throughout my workout. A typical pre-workout meal I enjoy includes oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder, a banana for quick energy, and a spoonful of peanut butter for healthy fats. This combination provides a steady release of energy, which is essential for intense leg workouts. Hydration is also key, so I make sure to drink water before and during my training. Additionally, some days I switch it up with a small chicken breast with sweet potatoes and steamed vegetables, which feels very sustaining and helps with recovery after the hard session. I find that timing matters: eating too close to workout time can cause discomfort, while eating too early leaves me hungry or low on energy during the session. Overall, planning your pre-workout meal according to your workout intensity and personal digestion comfort can enhance your gym lifestyle significantly. By paying attention to macros and meal timing, you’ll be better fueled to power through leg day and maximize your gains.
