Timing is Everything

Fine tuning your meals according to when you work out can help melt pounds faster!

If you exercise in the morning:
Your body's main source of fuel is glycogen- carbs that have been broken down and stored in your muscles. Before you work out, have a 200-300 calorie meal with fruit or whole grains and a small amount of protein.

If you exercise on your lunch hour:
Save your midday meal until after working out. Reload with lean protein, and vegetables or whole grains within 30 minutes of the end of your workout.


If you exercise after dinner:
Night owls, beware: loading up at supper will weigh you down in more ways than one! Eat  ore at breakfast and lunch, and prepare a low-fat dinner of fewer than 500 calories.
