Carrie_pepper Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’m confused about what level of exercise requires an extra mini meal? I am really trying to cut down on snacking but I feel like that unavoidable if you add the pre and post mini meals. Also any guidelines of intensity of exercise? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted April 10, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2019 It's hard to say exactly, you can definitely try having them or not having them, or if you're doing different types of workouts on different days, some days you may need something and other days you may not. Pre-workout is most important if you work out first thing in the morning, or if it's been several hours since you ate when you work out. If you work out mid-morning, a couple of hours after breakfast, for instance, you may not need a pre-workout if you're not feeling hungry and if you get through your workout okay without it. If you work out first thing in the morning, we recommend eating within an hour of waking up, so you'll probably want to have something. And if you're hungry or feel that you'll need some food to get through your workout, then have something pre-wo. Here's a good explanation of post-wo: http://whole9life.com/2015/02/eat-post-workout/.
