10 foods to eat before a workout for energy without heaviness

Before a workout, it helps to eat something light with slow carbohydrates and a moderate amount of protein. The main goal is stable blood sugar and no heaviness in the stomach.

1. Oatmeal with banana.
2. Greek yogurt with berries.
3. Wholegrain toast with peanut butter.
4. Cottage cheese with honey.
5. A boiled egg and a crispbread.
6. Rice with chicken breast.
7. A smoothie with spinach, banana, and kefir.
8. A handful of nuts and one date.
9. Baked sweet potato.
10. Hummus with vegetables.

If there are less than 30 minutes left before training, choose only carbohydrates: a banana, dates, or a crispbread. A full meal is better planned 1.5 to 2 hours ahead.
