Pre-Workout Meal An ideal pre-workout meal should be low in fat, moderate in protein, and high in complex carbs. 🍎🥜 Top Pre-Workout Foods: 1.Apple: A low-calorie fruit rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which boosts your immune system. Eating an apple before a workout can keep you feeling full for hours and hydrated. 2.Dates (Khajoor): A heart-healthy food that provides an excellent energy boost before a workout. Rich in magnesium and copper, dates help strengthen your bones. 3.Nuts: Contrary to popular belief, nuts can be an excellent pre-workout food. They keep you full and energized, preventing fatigue. Walnuts, in particular, are rich in healthy omega-3 fats, which boost strength and help prevent joint problems. 4.Banana: A popular pre-workout food, bananas are portable, versatile, and delicious. They are rich in carbohydrates and easy to digest, providing essential nutrients like carbs and potassium for exercise performance and muscle growth. 5.Slice of Bread with Peanut Butter and Banana: This combination of whole wheat bread, banana, and peanut butter offers an excellent mix of carbs and protein, perfect for prepping you up for your workout. The bread keeps you full while the protein and carbs from the peanut butter and banana fuel your session. 6.Pre-Workout Drink: Blend beetroot, pomegranate, mint, and a glass of water for a refreshing and energizing drink. 7.Greek Yogurt with Berries: High in protein and antioxidants, this combination supports muscle repair and recovery. Timing and Hydration: Remember to eat your pre-workout meal at least 30 minutes to an hour before exercise to allow for digestion. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after exercise.

Hi Your pre post workout meal would depend on the type and duration of workout you are doing at the gym. It could be fruit and low-fat yoghurt, oatmeal, granola or toast. Post workout could be protein drink, scrambled eggs or chicken roll. You don’t need the same diet on the days you don’t do to the gym.

For gym days, take a light pre-workout meal 30–60 mins before—like banana + peanut butter or oats with fruit. Post-workout, focus on protein + complex carbs—like boiled eggs with toast, paneer wrap, or a smoothie with milk + fruit + seeds. On non-gym days, reduce carb portion slightly and focus on balanced meals to support recovery and maintain energy. But these above suggestions is a general prescription, every body is different and I'll suggest to get a personalized diet plan according to the proper Nutritional assessment.
