This is another meal that is packed with a substantial amount of protein and provides an energy boost to your pre workout state. Make sure to eat some fruit with the meal. A great preworkout fruit is watermelon. It promotes bloodflow and is rich in the amino acid citrulline. In the body this amino acid gets converted into arginine to produce nitric oxide. Other great fruits to eat preworkout are blueberries which are high in anti oxidants and apples. Stay away from pineapple and bananas save those for after the workout. Try to consume the entire meal approximately 1 hour before your workout to give your body time to absorb and assimilate all of the nutrients. One other great addition to this meal would be to drink a cup of green tea. Green tea has been shown to have a tremendous amount of antioxidants and thermogenic effects on the body to aid in the fat burning process. To sweeten up the tea put in all natural organic honey. For the daily protein intake athletes need to consume about 1g-1.5g per pound of bodyweight. This helps to speed up the recovery process from the cellular breakdown that the body sustains during intense training.
