Essential Pre and Post workout meals!

Hey all :) I'm very often asked what i eat before workout and after workout. So I'm will try and write some of the most usual foods i eat, with the best results in my opinion. 

1)To start its essential to load yourself with carbs before workout workout.Carbs as i mentioned in one of my previous articles Basic about carbs are the ingredient that gives you strenght during your training and throughout the day!

2)After workout its also essential to eat carbs and protein. Carbs will help you regain your lost energy, while they are easily absorbed after your workout.Try to eat carbs with no extra sugar fats like chocolate and prefer carbs from foods like rice full of dietary fibers.Protein will help you with muscle recovery so that your muscles recover faster and become stronger with time.

-->With that being said im gonna post what i do and what i eat :) I will divide them into Post and Pre foods but to tell you the truth some of them i eat them post and pre so will not mention them twice!!


Pre Workout : Im not a fan of pre-workout supplements so NO pre-workout supplements just pre-workout foods..(With enough feedback i can also write an article about them).Also before workout i eat lighter that after cause i dont want my system to be distracted to my stomach than my muscles. 

Bananas : I eat 1 banana cause its an energy Bomb :) Carbs,Easily digested and with no fats thats what you want to eat :

Toasted bread with honey or just a spoon of honey : Eat 1-2 pieces and you will facing Beast mode ;)

Toasted Bread

Honey Spoon

Sesame seed with honey (Pasteli) : Thats THE Bomb...Full with carbs calories and Protein. But dont get my wrong eat only 1/2 or 1/4 otherwise you are gonna get heavy during your workout.

Post Workout: Eat your Brains out!! Just fill yourself with foods your system need it.

So im also eating Bananas: 

Sesame seed with Honey(pasteli) again.. : This time eat it all !! Enjoy it..Let the carbs and the protein inside your system.Get it pumped and add those calories.They are easily digested and your body will be thankful!!

Yogurt: That's right eat 200g of 2% fat yogurt and you got your proteins for the night:

Eggs : Of Course Eggs!! Again and again!!

Rice: A bowl of rice will get you going for hours and its perfect for your body to recover.

Protein Shake: Yes you can take supplements but nothing is like food. So keep that in mind (Definately will make an article on this one ).

Eat and dont get fat !!

What if i tell you a way to eat and dont get fat??

You might thing im joking but im not :) Seriously there is a way and it is called SALAD!! In other words grass or green..

Salad is an effective way to diet due to the fact that lettuce is a fibrous carbohydrate. Fibrous carbs are foods such as leafy green vegetables like lettuce and broccoli that are filling, but don’t contain many calories. These are vastly different than starchy carbohydrates. Starchy carbs are foods like potatoes, rice, and breads that are much higher in calories. Since salad’s main ingredient is a low calorie, yet filling food…it is the perfect diet food.  

Also Salad is the cheaper meal :) It needs a little time to clean the veggies but thats all.

 I know most of you now think of this

Not the green one im gonna puke!!

But there are many ways to make your salad very tasty and even tastier than

junk foods. What i do is add lemon,chicken,tuna,eggs or nuts :) I sometimes add balsamiko vinegar (βαλσαμικο ξυδι) a thing that really makes the differance in the taste.

Here are some of my many creations in order to give you some ideas :) I eat them usually at night but thats an issue we will discuss another time..

Lettuce with tommatoe,carrot,green pepper and corn

Green salat with lettuce nuts and dried bread

Green salad with tuna,corn and dried bread

Basic of Carbs PART I

You got the point Carbs ;)

What Are Carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates, along with fats and proteins, are one of the three main classes of food. Carbohydrates are organic compounds consisting mainly of sugars, starches and fiber.

Plants make carbohydrates during photosynthesis and store them as any of the saccharides (sugars). They are used primarily for energy in the body. If carbohydrate isn't used in short order, it is stored. A certain amount can be stored in the liver and muscles asglycogen, and the rest is stored as fat. Unlike protein and essential fats, our bodies can get along without dietary carbohydrate if needed. 

So dont forget Carbs. To but it simple these are your energy.. You cant train like an anthlete without comsuming a good amount of carbs..Its most prefable at the morning and pre-post morkouts.. BUT you must prefer the good sources of carbs like pasta and honey not these sugar canded shit :* Im sorry but i dont like sweets :P
