But one step that often goes by the wayside is actually fueling up your body.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The right pre-workout fuel will help to optimize your energy levels, your performance, and even how you feel after a workout,&#8221; explains Molly Kimball, a registered dietitian. &#8220;The proper fuel can also help you increase the intensity and duration of exercise, which will burn more calories in the long run.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> However, fuel doesn&#8217;t necessarily equal food. In fact, you don\u2019t always need to eat before a workout, Kimball notes. &#8220;Our bodies typically have enough carbs stored to fuel workouts up to 60 to 90 minutes\u2013even first thing in the morning.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD, is a registered dietitian and nutrition journalist.<\/li>\n<li>Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, is a registered dietitian and the author of <em>The Better Period Food Solution.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Nealy Fischer is a holistic coach, founder of The Flexible Chef, and author of the <em>Food You Want for the Life You Crave<\/em> cookbook.<\/li>\n<li>Monica Auslander Moreno, MS, RD, LDN, is a registered dietitian and the founder of Essence Nutrition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> That said, getting hydrated before a workout is key.

In a blender, mix up protein powder or reduced-fat greek yogurt to provide 15-20 grams protein, water or unsweetened almond milk, plus banana or other frozen fruit\u2014this gives you the perfect combo of protein, carbs, and fluids.

Just make sure to buy one that only contains fruit and veggies\u2014no added sugars.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-block related-link\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\">Refresh and Reset With the 8 Best Juice Cleanses, According to a Dietitian<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_7-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">07<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 07<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_7-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Branched-chain amino acids, a.k.a.

Add some BCAA powder to your pre-workout shake, or look for a pre-made product, such as RSP Nutrition&#8217;s AminoLean. Plus, it also contains caffeine meant to lead to additional increases in strength, endurance, and power.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-outro_1-0\" class=\"comp article-outro mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-block upnext-link\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\">5 Things You Should Do Before a Workout to Maximize Results<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"citation-sources_1-0\" class=\"comp citation-sources mntl-article-sources mntl-expandable-block u-article-styles\" data-scroll-offset=\"70\">\n<div class=\"loc toggle-content\">\n<div id=\"mntl-article-sources__wrapper_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-article-sources__wrapper mntl-block\" data-click-tracked=\"true\"><span id=\"mntl-article-sources__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-article-sources__heading mntl-text-block\">Article Sources<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"loc expandable-content\">\n<div id=\"citation-sources__text_1-0\" class=\"comp citation-sources__text mntl-text-block\">Byrdie takes every opportunity to use high-quality sources, including peer-reviewed studies, to support the facts within our articles.

But one step that often goes by the wayside is actually fueling up your body.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The right pre-workout fuel will help to optimize your energy levels, your performance, and even how you feel after a workout,&#8221; explains Molly Kimball, a registered dietitian. &#8220;The proper fuel can also help you increase the intensity and duration of exercise, which will burn more calories in the long run.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> However, fuel doesn&#8217;t necessarily equal food. In fact, you don\u2019t always need to eat before a workout, Kimball notes. &#8220;Our bodies typically have enough carbs stored to fuel workouts up to 60 to 90 minutes\u2013even first thing in the morning.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD, is a registered dietitian and nutrition journalist.<\/li>\n<li>Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, is a registered dietitian and the author of <em>The Better Period Food Solution.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Nealy Fischer is a holistic coach, founder of The Flexible Chef, and author of the <em>Food You Want for the Life You Crave<\/em> cookbook.<\/li>\n<li>Monica Auslander Moreno, MS, RD, LDN, is a registered dietitian and the founder of Essence Nutrition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> That said, getting hydrated before a workout is key.

But one step that often goes by the wayside is actually fueling up your body.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The right pre-workout fuel will help to optimize your energy levels, your performance, and even how you feel after a workout,&#8221; explains Molly Kimball, a registered dietitian. &#8220;The proper fuel can also help you increase the intensity and duration of exercise, which will burn more calories in the long run.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> However, fuel doesn&#8217;t necessarily equal food. In fact, you don\u2019t always need to eat before a workout, Kimball notes. &#8220;Our bodies typically have enough carbs stored to fuel workouts up to 60 to 90 minutes\u2013even first thing in the morning.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD, is a registered dietitian and nutrition journalist.<\/li>\n<li>Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, is a registered dietitian and the author of <em>The Better Period Food Solution.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Nealy Fischer is a holistic coach, founder of The Flexible Chef, and author of the <em>Food You Want for the Life You Crave<\/em> cookbook.<\/li>\n<li>Monica Auslander Moreno, MS, RD, LDN, is a registered dietitian and the founder of Essence Nutrition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> That said, getting hydrated before a workout is key.
