It’s no secret, if you don’t have fuel in yo body, your workout is going to suck. You’re going to gas out quickly and your muscles aren’t going to get that super pump, here are a few tips from Mr. Jay Cutler to help that!

Go For Easy Digesting Protein 

Opt for a protein that passes through the gut easily and doesn’t sit heavy on the stomach. Tilapia, cod, chicken breast and turkey breast are all examples here. You don’t want anything which takes too much effort to the digest because it will pull more blood into the gut, away from the muscle you’re training. 

Don’t Eat Too Much Fat

Fat slows down digestion, you want the amino acids from the protein and glucose from the carbs in the pre-workout meal available in the workout. The energy should come from carbs which digest easily, like white potato or white rice. 

Season The Meal 

Lightly salting your pre-workout meal adds more sodium which is actually a natural electrolyte – this is great for hydration, which keeps you full of energy, improves performance and recovery between sets.
