Nutrition tips from Registered Dietitian and Professor Kelly Jones. SUBMIT your questions at: http://NewtownAthletic.com/ask-kelly/ Maria asks, “Are there some protein sources that are better than others before and after workouts?” Before a workout consume CARBOHYDRATES, not protein. After a workout focus on eating COMPLETE PROTEINS that will allow muscles to heal. These are found in animal meat (beef, chicken, eggs, dairy) and vegetarian sources like quinoa and soy. Also, LEUCINE is an essential amino acid that is closely associated with muscle construction in the body. Leucine is found in eggs, dairy, soy, fish, white beans and pumpkin seeds. Kelly’s answers are based on peer-reviewed published research. *The information in this video and its description is meant solely as advice.
