We do not spend nearly as much time educating on what to do BEFORE a workout, which is also important. Should you work out fasted? Should you eat a Thanksgiving Feast? Should you eat carb dense foods like pop tarts? Unlike a post workout scenario, there are no specifics when it comes to what to take or eat before a workout.
