Fibre filled foods

In general, foods rich in fibre like wholegrain bread, whole-wheat pasta and oats are good for you and can help to keep you feeling fuller for longer and regulate the digestive system. However, before a workout these foods should be a no-go as they take longer for the body to digest and can lead to gastrointestinal distress. This distress can result in bloating, nausea, gas and stomach cramps which could hinder a workout, meaning you should avoid them before working out.
