meal right before strenuous exercise.<\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb\u00a0is to fuel your body with a nutritious meal <strong>2-4 hours<\/strong> before exercise, and something lighter (containing <strong>30-60 grams<\/strong> of carbs) <strong>within an hour<\/strong> before you work out.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-workout meals and snacks should contain a healthy carbohydrate (one that's easily digestible)

plan what to eat before or after workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-workout snacks are high in easily digestible carbohydrates, while post-workout nourishment contains a good mix of fiber-rich carbs and protein.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #3c9990;\"><strong>Pre-Workout Snacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Below are some examples of some pre-workout snacks, containing primarily carbohydrates plus a tiny bit of protein or healthy fats, that won\u2019t weigh you down:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A banana or apple with a small amount of nut butter<\/li>\n<li>Any type of fresh or dried fruit<\/li>\n<li>Applesauce<\/li>\n<li>Trail mix containing dried fruit<\/li>\n<li>A sports drink or 100% fruit juice<\/li>\n<li>Greek yogurt topped with granola or raspberries<\/li>\n<li>A cereal or

Snacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Post-workout snacks are similar to pre-workout fuel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In fact, many pre-workout foods help your body replenish glycogen stores and enhance muscle building after exercise too. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only difference is you might choose slower-digesting carbs with protein after exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A protein powder and fruit smoothie<\/li>\n<li>Whole foods protein bars (such as Outright bars)<\/li>\n<li>Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts or seeds<\/li>\n<li>Low-fat cottage cheese with fruit and nuts<\/li>\n<li>A

style=\"color: #f83371;\">Should I Eat During Exercise?<\/h2>\n<p>Stick with just water if you exercise for 60 minutes or less.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, if endurance workouts last more than one hour, fuel your body with water plus carbohydrates to enhance exercise performance. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You might choose a sports drink, sports gel, or another carb-rich snack containing easily digestible carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency recommends athletes drink <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usada.org\/resources\/nutrition\/carbohydrates-the-master-fuel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">6-12 ounces<\/a> of a sports beverage containing <strong>6-8% carbohydrates <\/strong>every 15-30 minutes (after the first hour of exercise) or sports gels in addition to water for longer endurance workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Purdue University suggests consuming <strong>30-60 grams<\/strong> of carbs every hour during longer endurance workouts by choosing snacks, gels, or sports drinks containing a mixture of different carbohydrates (maltodextrin, glucose, fructose, starch, etc.).<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #f83371;\">How Much Water Should I Drink?<\/h2>\n<p>Drink water all throughout the day and aim for <strong>at least 12 cups of fluids<\/strong> daily.<\/p>\n<p>Every morning, drink <strong>2-4 cups<\/strong> of water to get or stay hydrated.<\/p>\n<p>Keep a water bottle with you during the day and fill it up often.<\/p>\n<p>The American Academy of Family Physicians provides the following <a href=\"https:\/\/familydoctor.org\/athletes-the-importance-of-good-hydration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hydration recommendations<\/a> for athletes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drink <strong>2-2 1\/2 cups<\/strong> of water 2-3 hours before exercise<\/li>\n<li>Drink <strong>1 cup<\/strong> of water 20-30 minutes before workouts<\/li>\n<li>Drink about <strong>1 cup<\/strong> of water every 10-20 minutes during exercise<\/li>\n<li>Drink <strong>1 cup<\/strong> of water within 30 minutes after workouts<\/li>\n<li>Drink <strong>2-3 cups<\/strong> of water for every pound of body weight lost (from sweating) during exercise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A good way to determine if you\u2019re drinking enough water is by the way you feel and the color of your urine.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of dehydration include fatigue, weakness, decreased exercise performance, dry mouth, dizziness, dark yellow-colored urine, nausea, and muscle cramps.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re properly hydrated, your urine is close to clear or very light yellow.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"3478\" class=\"elementor elementor-3478\"

calories<\/a><\/strong> (up to 1,800 calories if they are very active) per day.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the case for you, consider the following sample meal plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Breakfast: 300 calories<\/li>\n<li>Snack: 150-200 calories<\/li>\n<li>Lunch: 300 calories<\/li>\n<li>Snack: 150-200 calories<\/li>\n<li>Dinner: 300 calories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Add an additional 150-200 calorie pre- or post-workout snack as needed.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel hungry while using this weight loss meal plan, slightly increase your calorie intake.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #3c9990;\"><strong>Calories for Healthy Weight Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020 set the following weight maintenance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/resources\/2020-2025-dietary-guidelines-online-materials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calorie guidelines<\/a> for women based on their age and activity level:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sedentary women: 1,600-2,000 calories<\/li>\n<li>Moderately active women: 1,800-2,200 calories<\/li>\n<li>Active women: 2,000-2,400 calories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The older you are, the fewer calories your body needs as your metabolism begins to slow down.<\/p>\n<p>If you require about 2,000 calories per day to maintain your current weight, consider the following meal plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Breakfast: 400 calories<\/li>\n<li>Snack: 250-300 calories<\/li>\n<li>Lunch: 400 calories<\/li>\n<li>Snack: 250-300 calories<\/li>\n<li>Dinner: 400 calories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Add an additional 200-300 calorie pre- or post-workout snack as needed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #3c9990;\"><strong>Calories for Weight Gain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If healthy weight gain is your goal, increase muscle-building exercises and add an additional 250-500 calories to your meal plan daily.<\/p>\n<p>Drink an extra protein shake or add nutrient-dense foods, such as nuts, seeds, nut butter, and avocados, to daily meal plans to boost calories without feeling excessively full.<\/p>\n<p>It is the <a

about <strong>0.2 grams<\/strong> of protein per pound of your body weight every <strong>3-4 hours<\/strong> enhances muscle building and is associated with improvements in body composition and exercise performance.<\/p>\n<p>This equates to consuming about <strong>25 grams<\/strong> of protein every 3-4 hours if you weigh 125 pounds.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #3c9990;\"><strong>Personalize What You Eat Before or After Workouts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Everybody is different, so it\u2019s difficult to find pre- or post-workout fuel sources that are a perfect fit for every woman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Experiment with different foods in varying amounts to find those that work best for you. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose food combinations you enjoy that enhance exercise
