Morning Workout
A low-intensity workout such as walking, bike riding, yoga, or golf, requires little fuel. Focus on hydrating and eating a small carbohydrate-rich snack such as 16 ounces of water and a mini-whole wheat bagel. This will provide you with energy without loading up. Post-workout, eat protein and a carbohydrate such as a hardboiled egg and oatmeal with berries.

Evening Workout
Exercising after work? Try to eat lunch 3-4 hours before physical activity. A healthy lunch will provide enough calories to sustain the energy needed to exercise later on; however, try to have an energy boost 15-30 minutes beforehand. An example would be eating a grilled chicken salad for lunch and a banana as an energy boost. Remember to hydrate throughout the day with water.
Refueling
Post-workout it is important to rehydrate and eat a snack or dinner to refuel your body. If your meal will be delayed for a couple of hours, try snacking on low-fat yogurt, a stick of string cheese, or a few whole-grain crackers. Don’t skip breakfast and eat a light lunch because this might lead to overeating during dinner.
