Para.1
For most people, having a balanced meal rich in carbohydrates and protein two to four hours before a workout will supply enough energy to last the length of your routine. This also allows ample time for digestion and can help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort like nausea, vomiting or acid reflux, said Dr. Martha Gulati, a cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles who specializes in helping her patients make lifestyle changes through diet and exercise.
Para.2
If you have a few hours before you plan to exercise, a pre-workout meal might include a high-quality protein (like salmon, chicken or tofu), a complex carbohydrate (like brown rice, oatmeal or sweet potatoes) and healthy sources of fats (like avocado, eggs or nuts), said Dr. Cecilia Cordova Vallejos, a sports medicine physiatrist at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Para.3
Having a snack about 30 minutes before your workout will also give you an energy boost — especially if you’re doing moderate or high-intensity exercise for longer than 90 minutes, Dr. Cordova Vallejos said. She recommended a protein bar or even just an energy gel packet because they are easy on the stomach. Dr. Gulati suggested a banana or a piece of your favorite fruit.
Para.4
Once you’re done with your workout, aim to consume protein — ideally 20 to 40 grams within two hours, the International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends — to help support muscle growth and recovery. A can of tuna, a chicken breast or three scrambled eggs with cheese would each fall within that range.
Para.5
The timing of your meals may also depend on your health or fitness objectives. If you have a condition like diabetes where you must manage your blood sugar levels, the recommendations are a little more nuanced. Some research suggests that those with Type 2 diabetes may be better off having breakfast before they exercise. For people with Type 1 diabetes, the suggestions may be different, Dr. Kanaley added. Some research suggests, for instance, that fasting before a moderate or high-intensity morning workout can be safe and potentially even preferable for people with Type 1 diabetes, depending on your glucose levels upon waking.

全文概括
Experts recommend eating a balanced meal 2-4 hours before exercise for sustained energy and to avoid digestive issues. A smaller, easily digestible snack 30 minutes beforehand can also be beneficial for longer or more intense workouts. Post-workout, consuming 20-40 grams of protein within two hours aids muscle recovery. However, individuals with diabetes may require modified approaches, with some research suggesting pre- or post-workout fasting might be suitable depending on the type of diabetes and individual glucose levels.
