    Refrain from eating fast foods and stuff like microwaveable foods/cup noodles. Before and after a workout consider eating a bit of protein whether it be in a bar, powdered, or naturally in a food. Do not over eat before a work out as it may cause distress during the work out. It's recommended to have nutrition AT LEAST 2 hours after a workout or your workout was pointless.

    Good luck.
