5 Fitness Foods That Will Make You Fat

There are many foods and drinks used by people who working out and caring about energy known as healthy food. Many people who go to the gym or who work out think about power, energy, and greatness. These three factors are commonly used by companies for marketing of their produces such as sport drinks or energy bar. If you really go the gym every day or work out usually do these food really affect your performance? It is actually a waste of your money and it is adding back more calories that you burned in the gym as Eve Pearson, a sports nutritionist in Dallas clarifies that. Here are 5 foods and drinks that mostly common between athletic people that could make you fat if you relay on it daily, and it is better to find alternative and nature foods that are better and friendly.
First type of fitness foods is sport drinks in general. According to Nancy Clark, MS, RD, author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, says that a sport drink is basically is a sugar water with a sprinkle of salt. Only a few people who need more sugar to get energy, the rest people can get energy with water. On top of that, many American guzzle sports people drink a sport drink even if they don’t need it which can simply increase calorie intake. Also, it has an extra sodium, and as Clark who to leads a campaign to reduce our intake of the white stuff says. If the person exercised for 3 hours in the heat, he only needs a little sodium.  The second type of food is Energy bars, and that sound like a great foods for exercising, but actually most of them are not more than cookies especially those who marking as meal replacements. Every bar can contains 300-plus calories as the calories that you are about to burn off. The third type is energy gels and gummies. This could be good for people who running in marathon, but if you just working out for about an hour, this not more that sugar in another word. If you looking for better energy booster for long working out or running, try to use dried fruits, dates, banana, or yogurt. The fourth type is the energy drinks such as Red Bull or Monster to supercharge your workout. It is actually not more than sugar mixed with caffeine and that the reason makes the person feels energy. 62 grams in one can is sugar which you can save your money and drink a cup of coffee with ¼ of sugar. The last type of foods is protein shakes which can fast repairs muscles after a workout. In fact, it actually adds up more calories into your body. Better than that, you can just add some powdered milk into a milk.
This information were totally new for me and helpful for me because I usually relay on these type of foods. I asked many trainer and athletic people about these product and never of them says it is bad, but the most common idea about these type of foods among athletic people is helpful for the body after the gym and it can boost the energy. From today, I will try to rely on a natural food and fruits to help me with a workout.
