10 Worst Foods To Eat Before A Workout

To maximise your workout better, it’s probably a good idea to stay away from these foods because they tend to contain indigestible carbs.

by Atika Lim  /   June 13, 2016

To maximise your workout better, it’s probably a good idea to stay away from these foods because they tend to contain indigestible carbs that could leave you feeling gassy and bloated. Some of the foods listed below could also contain too much sugar, leaving you feeling more lethargic than usual after your workout.

10 Worst Foods To Eat Before A Workout
1. Milk

Some might feel like milk makes them bloat or leaves them feeling too acidic to properly workout.

2. Potato Chips

Salty foods like potato chips, nuts and processed meats contain plenty of sodium and that could disrupt the fluid balance in your body causing you to get headaches or feeling bloated because of water retension.

3. Spicy Foods

Eating spicy foods just before a workout could cause a heartburn.

4. Buttery Pastries

Certain breads and pastries use too much butter making you feel heavier than you should during your workout.

5. Latte

If you still need your caffeine and metabolism boost, stick to getting an Americano instead of a latte or cappucino. The added calories won’t do much good for your workout.

6. Energy Drinks

Energy drinks high in sugar can cause you to feel bloated and raise your sugar levels up so you feel a certain sugar high but once that sugar high runs out, you’ll feel tired instantly.

7. Avocadoes

Despite how avocadoes are amazing foods, they tend to contain a lot of fat and fibre than can make digestion slightly difficult so you might feel more lethargic.

8. Juice

Juice might seem like a good idea but it actually contains more sugars than you know. So, it’s best to eat your fruits instead of juicing them.

9. Broccoli

Broccoli contains indigestible carbs that can cause bloating and gassiness to happen.

10. Bell Peppers

Much like broccoli, bell peppers also contain a high amount of indigestible carbs.
