It is only by consuming ample amount of required nutrients that you can benefit from your workouts. If the pre-workout meals and the post-workouts meals are not sufficiently loaded with the right nutrients, you will feel fatigued in no time and it will also decrease the stamina of the body.
Coupled with this meal plan, it is important to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every single day to keep hydrated. More water equals a better working metabolism which is helpful for a successful workout.
