Do I need a pre-workout snack?

Yes, you do need a pre-workout snack as it is a source of energy for your workout session. It is recommended to include carbs in your snack as this is the store house of energy. A good pre-workout snack helps you to contract your muscles with ease, avoiding cramps. Besides, it prevents dizziness and hunger during and after your workout. Hence for better performance a pre-workout snack is a must.

However, this does not mean that you eat more even if you eat a full meal just an hour or two before the workout. Analyse your energy requirement at the time of exercise, especially if you exercise before breakfast in the morning.
