Best pre workout meals and post workout meals

Pre workout meals - Bananas, Protein Shakes, Protein Bars

The worst thing you can do is go into a workout with no energy, that is why it is so important to get a good pre workout meal.  The examples above are the best pre workout meals I have found through experience over the years.  You want to eat your pre workout meal half an hour before your workout.

Post workout meals – Protein shakes, Protein bars, jacket potato/tuna, pieces of chicken breast

The most important thing about a post workout meal is getting it in your body as soon as you finish the workout.  You want to eat your post workout meal the second you finish your workout so the muscles get the protein and nutrients they need as soon as they can get them.  Protein shakes are the best as they are specifically designed for the post workout phase.  Protein shakes are easily digested and get to the muscles fast, that is why I have taken them for years as my post workout meals.
