Best fuel for your workout

Good food choices to fuel your workout include high-carbohydrate, low-fat snacks such as:

- a banana with yogurt;

- a whole-wheat toasted bagel with fruit spread; or

- a quick bowl of instant oatmeal.

After your workout, it’s essential to refuel your body with a carbohydrate-protein blend, such as:

- a peanut butter sandwich;

- a small handful of walnuts or almonds; or

- a fruit smoothie with some protein powder.

Don't forget to drink water before, during and after your workout to avoid dehydration.
