Don't workout on an empty stomach "Let's face it, if you run on empty, your workouts will suffer," says nutritionist Rania Batayneh, MPH. Whether you are feeling low energy while trying to cycle or lifting weights, she suggests that you are more likely to stop working out if you're too hungry — which means you won't hit your goals. She recommends refueling before and after gym sessions with a snack like hummus toast which contains a combination of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Hummus is made from a combination of chickpeas and tahini. And when you top it off with a few slices of avocado onto your toast, she explains that this adds healthy fats to satiate both brain and body.

"It's the combination of protein and carbohydrate from the beans that also has fiber which sustains you longer," she says. "The toast also offers fiber and staying power."
