What are the dietary recommendations for pre-exercise meals?
What will be an ideal response?
Pre-exercise meals should contain 150-300 grams of carbohydrate, be low in protein and fat to promote faster digestion, and be low in fiber to prevent intestinal problems. Fructose and higher-fat foods should generally be avoided before exercise. During prolonged exercise, 30—60 grams of carbohydrates should be consumed per hour to delay glycogen depletion and support blood glucose.
