Nutrition for your Run or Work-Out Vlog

Interview discusses what to eat before, during and after a run (or work-out).

Peter's important notes: Eating a balanced meal. More carbs than fat or protein before the work-out. Fat and protein digest slower, so they can "weigh you down" as they sit and metabolize. You want energy.

And don't wait too long to eat after an intense work-out. Your muscles need food for recovery.



Almond butter...yum. With organic raspberry preserves, ultra-yummy and healthy! One of my faves.

Nut butters like almond and cashew butter are excellent sources of protein for the post-run meal or snack. They are plant-based and full of nutrients like omega fatty acids and calcium, AND they're yummy.

Happy Eating, Runners!
