Early Morning Workout Fueling Tips
Prep The Night Before
A common excuse that many people use about eating right before their pre-dawn workouts is not having enough time. Make time by prepping your fuel the night before. This will save you an enormous amount of it in the mornings when you’re trying to get out the door.
You can also prep one meal that you can eat the entire week. Spend one of your weekend days getting all the necessary items together and make one big batch.
Choose Carbohydrates That Are Easily Digestible
You’re going to want to fuel your body with easily digestible carbs. Drinking a smoothie is a great option. Smoothies are easy on your digestive system, helps with keeping you hydrated, and are quick and easy to make. Here’s a recipe that you should try tomorrow morning.
