Smoothies are ideal for pre- and post-workout nutrition. This will help you build more muscle mass. You have to eat enough of the right foods to rebuild your muscles bigger. Even if you gain weight, you will be leaner because muscle takes up less space than fat.
The rigors of weight training breaks down your body and you need proper nutrition and rest to rebuild your body bigger and better. Protein consumption, in particular, is critical if you want to build muscle.
How to Use Smoothies for Workouts and Snacks
If you want to take your workouts to a new level of conditioning - Healthy Smoothies are an amazing way to help the body heal and grow.
1. Pre-workout nutrition should mainly include carbohydrates and proteins. During intense training, your body depends on fuel from glycogen made from the carbohydrates that you eat.
Consuming smoothies 1-2 hours before a workout will build up your glycogen stores. When your glycogen stores are low, your performance will suffer.
Research has shown the effectiveness of pre-workout protein drinks (such as whey).Your muscles get 2 times as much benefit from a pre-workout protein drink compared to having just a post-workout protein drink. You can add protein to your smoothie drink.
2. Post-workout nutrition is important to help your body recover from intense exercise.You don't need to eat immediately after your workout but there is a 45-60 minute window where replenishing your body's fuel carbs, protein, fats will optimize your tissue's repair and growth.
The post-exercise meal should consist of carbohydrates, protein and a small number of healthy fats. A drink, such as a smoothie, is good because it is quickly digestible.
3. Protein provides the main building blocks for your muscles. Daily protein needs should be calculated according to body weight, not by percent of calories.
