Low-Carb Meals

Your body taps into its glycogen stores during exercise, so eating carbohydrates in your post-workout meal helps restore them. Go for whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables

Salty & Greasy Processed Foods

Steer clear of rich, greasy foods. Fat takes your body longer to digest, which can lead to an upset stomach. For some people, lots of fiber or protein doesn’t mix well with exercise
