Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Should I always eat before workout? Why is it good to eat before you work out? What should I have?

Answered by Dr. Albana Greca

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Usually, food is recommended to consume 2 to 3 hours before a workout. If workout will start in less than two hours, should consume easy to digest carbohydrates and protein such as protein smoothies, whole grains or oatmeal. If it will start in less than an hour, then Greek yogurt, piece of fruit such as banana, apple, orange.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
