Don't let a bad snack ruin a good workout!
From the September/October 2005 Issue of Women's Health Magazine
"The right kind of snack can help your body prepare for a workout and recover from one faster. The
wrong kind can erase that 45 minutes of hard work that you just put in. So skip the sugar-loaded fixes that promise
an energy "boost" but mostly just deliver empty calories, says Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., a sports nutritionist in Washington,
D.C., and author of Power Eating. If you grab an energy bar, choose one that goes easy on the sugar and has the right
mix of protein, carbohydrates, and unsaturated fat. An apple with some peanut butter or a cup of low-fat yogurt is also
a good option, Dr. Kleiner says. The ideal workout snack for a woman should be no more than 200 calories, with at least
10 grams of protein, 20 g of carbs, and 2 g of unsaturated fat, she says."
