Meal Timing
Timing your food is essential. You need to eat 2-3 hours before you work out, incorporating complex carbs. you need to elevate your glucose level as soon as possible after training with carbohydrates, but not with a heavy meal immediately, as blood is still needed in the muscles to aid recovery.
Always eat breakfast. Keep a variety of cereals so you don't get bored with a daily bowl of cornflakes. If the only only early morning place open is McDonalds, then go foir a couple of English muffins with jam, orange juice and an unsweetened cup of tea. If you have arrived home late, eat something light so as not to disturb your sleep, but don't go to bed hungry. A light salad or some pasta with tomato ragu will be fine.
Carry small packs of raisins or nuts in your sports bag for those occasions when you are "starving".
