When you eat is as important as what you eat before a swim meet. Eating breakfast is important, preferably four hours before you swim in a race. Slow-cooked oatmeal cereals with low fat yogurt or eggs with whole grain toast provide some protein along with complex carbohydrates to help fuel your energy needs.
It depends. If youâre in a mass-building phase and want to push it to the max, fuel yourself with carbohydrate before and during your workout. In this phase, the best timing recommendation for eating before exercise is to eat a small meal of carbohydrate and protein one and a half to two hours before working out. This meal should contain about 50 grams of carbohydrate (200 calories) and 14 grams of protein (56 calories). These amounts can vary based on your individual calorie needs as well as the amount of food you can tolerate before exercise.
