In fact, the “secret” if indeed he is either eating balanced, avoiding as much as possible to delight in things fatty and sugary types cakes, sausages, pizza, etc..

The two important times to eat are those before and after your workouts. Those who precede you will store energy. Those who follow will allow your body to replenish reserves. It is therefore important to ensure you are well fed in the hours after training.

So, what to eat?

The day of your training: the essential carbohydrates (pasta, rice, semolina, potatoes) will give you the energy to drive the next day because they are rich in carbohydrates.

The day of training if you train in the morning for optimal digestion, drink at breakfast fruit juice because the sugar will be rapidly assimilated. If you train later in the day, prefer a fruit because the fiber content will further stabilize blood sugar (glucose concentration in the blood). Accompany all type of whole grain muesli or oatmeal with honey or jam. Some extra if you’re used to: an egg and a slice of ham, a source of protein. Avoid dairy practice days because they can cause stomach risks and take longer to digest.

In summary, for breakfast: fruit juice, tea, whole grains, fruit, wholemeal bread with a little butter, jam or honey.

After training: Rehydrate you abundantly! Feel free to drink between 2 liters and 2 liters and a half. Emphasize the mineral water (Vittel or type Hépar) or carbonated water. You can also drink soft drinks, in moderation of course! At dinner, feed yourself with starchy foods (still!), Green vegetables, fish, dairy and end with a result.

Proteins and carbohydrates

For Protein: choose fish and white meat. Limit consumption of red meat to once or twice a week. The latter is rich in iron but its digestion and assimilation are slower and more aware of the body. If ever a huge steak you try, expect it out of your training days.

For Carbohydrates: If you can, try to have on your plate, starches and vegetables. The latter promotes the assimilation of the first!
