Carbs for Pre- Workout

My topic of nutrition was carbohydrates before workout and the type of meals you should consume. Before a pre-workout it’s fully alright to eat carbohydrates, you can I whole pizza the night before and be fine just to get up and go the next morning. Ingesting carbohydrates before a workout and extra protein afterward provides the basic materials that your body needs for adapting to the demands of your chosen activity. The reason it’s good to have carbohydrates before work-out is to help ensure that your body has what it needs for rising to the challenge, and making the most of your workout.  Foods that are rich sources of carbohydrates include breads, pasta and cereals. Your body utilizes protein to build and maintain muscle. Meats, dairy, soy, nuts and beans are high in protein. The combination of the protein and carbohydrates before, during and after working out provides you with several benefits.
