Diet plays such a large part in whether or not one sees results after weeks of consistent exercise.
Luckily, in your 20's, it's okay to have a cheat day or have chocolate every once in a while :)
Here are a few of my favorite pre or post workout snacks:
Panera Bread Iced Green Tea: 130 calories and only $2.49! Refreshing drink and filled with antioxidants.
Cliff Bars: Basically, a meal replacement. I do not eat these often, but when they are on sale I stock up and have one every other day. They come in many tasty flavors :)
Vegetables!!!! Broccoli, Corn, Red Peppers, Carrots, and Peas cooked in a little bit of olive oil. Look at how colorful it is. Add baked chicken breasts on the side and you're set!
Cut organic apple and plain Quaker Oats oatmeal is one of my favorite pre workout breakfasts. It's light and filling. Sometimes I add Kiwi to the bowl too. Yum!
This morning, I made this bowl of Sugar Free Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal mixed with organic unsalted peanut butter, and a banana! Organic unsalted peanut butter is basically crushed up peanuts. It's much healthier than regular peanut butter, and in my opinion, tastes better. I've been trying to stay away from cereal because of the high sugar content, but Original Go Lean is a great fiber and protein substitute.
I'm still experimenting and trying new combinations, but I will try to keep sharing what I find!
