Mistake #7 - Not eating for the workout

People work out at differing times of the day and I know some who can get up and workout before they eat breakfast or even before they drink their morning cup of coffee or tea.  Everyone has their preferences and depending on the type of workout you do, waiting to eat may work for you better.  If you are doing a hard high intensity workout you may not want to eat much before and time always plays a part in your decision as to whether you eat before or not.  


Working out first thing in the morning after sleeping and fasting over night may be hard for some.  You may even find you have to get up even earlier to eat a little in order to get through that early morning workout.  I love to workout mid afternoon so the timing is between lunch and dinner.  A mid afternoon workout is best for me because I don't have too much food in my belly yet I'm not starving yet, so I have enough energy for the workout.  


You should eat approximately 25 grams of protein at least one hour before training. You can get this easily by drinking a protein shake, it will give you the boost you need and not fill you up.  After your workout eat a piece of fruit within the ½ hour and within an hour another 25 -30 grams of protein to replenish what you spent during the training session.  


Fueling your workout will get you much better results and you will feel energized instead of drained.
