Giselle Espinales is an editor and EVS operator with Fox Sports Florida in Fort Lauderdale. She previously spent time as a producer, reporter, and board operator at CBS Radio in Miami Gardens and as a sports anchor and reporter for WMDT 47ABC in Salisbury, Maryland. Away from work, Giselle Espinales enjoys working out at the gym.
Intense fitness routines at the gym can demand a significant amount of energy from the body. That said, it is not always a good idea to consume a large meal immediately before a workout session. Fortunately, there are a number of small snacks and energy-rich food options that can boost an individual’s performance without slowing them down.
In general, individuals should seek out foods and liquids that balance carbohydrates with an average amount of protein and very little fat. A few quick snacks that meet this criteria include low-fat yogurt mixed with banana slices, hard-boiled egg whites served with hummus rather than the yolks, and a small whole-wheat sandwich consisting of chicken, turkey, or lean roast beef.
Many individuals opt for an energy bar before a workout. This can be a smart decision, but it is important to check the ingredients of the bar. In some cases, energy and protein bars can be marketed toward active individuals despite containing the nutritional value of an average chocolate or candy bar.
