Food is one of the essential factors for those who want to maintain their body’s health and increase their quality of life, especially when the goal is to lose weight or gain muscle mass. In this sense, the foods consumed before training play a fundamental role, as they will provide the body with energy and help promote lean mass gain.
It is therefore always recommended to avoid exercising while fasting, as Tamara Stulbach, a specialist in sports nutrition, points out. “Regardless of the time of the physical activity, it is important to always eat about an hour beforehand and not to stop eating right after exercise or within an hour,” she says.
