Five Great Pre-Workout Foods

6/24/2021

When you want to get the most out of your workout, it helps to fuel your body with good foods. The meals you eat throughout the day and what you eat 30-90 minutes before your workout can help you run faster, lift heavier, or jump higher. Here are some great choices:

1. Bananas - Nicely packed with carbs and potassium to support muscle function

2. Oats - The fiber in oats allows their carbohydrates to be slowly released over time. This means you’ll have sustained energy levels throughout your workout.

3. Greek Yogurt and Fruit - This combo of protein and carbs will provide energy for your workout and can help support muscles afterwards too.

4. Whole Grain Bread - Another good source of carbs. Consider adding some nut butter of your choice for an added protein boost.

5. Hard Boiled Egg - One or two hard boiled eggs will fuel you with protein and lots of other nutrients to help you go harder.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
