Working out on an empty stomach...WRONG IDEA!

It is important to fuel your body before and after your workouts. Because working out on an empty stomach -- or worse, a stomach full of junk food -- can lead to less than optimal results.

Here are 5 top foods I personally recommend:

1- Salmon

A great source of protein, iron, vitamin B12 and omega 3 fatty acids. No wonder why many athletes consume salmon as a recovery meal.

2- Oatmeal

It's a good source of B vitamins and contains soluble fiber to help soak up unwanted fat and cholesterol in the bloodstream. Oatmeal also contains your good carbohydrates -- the energy source for any athlete.

3- Yogurt

Rich in vitamin B-12 and calcium, which helps athletes prevent fatigue. Great meal or snack before and after your workout.

4- Sweet Potatoes

An underrated vegetable. It contains the most antioxidant beta carotene than any other fruit or vegetable! It is also a great source of vitamin C, E, and iron. It is one of my favorite choices for dinner.

5- Blueberries

A great antioxidant, which helps reduce oxidative damage to cells resulting from a strenuous activity. It is also a great source of vitamin C to help your immune system and energy-enhancing carbohydrates and fiber. Try it in the morning with your cereal!

Provide your body regularly with the foods I provided you and other healthy foods to provide finest fuel for your workouts and see the biggest rewards.

Have a awesome week !!!
