Which nutrient should be eaten before, during and after exercise for quick energy?
A
Protein
B
Carbohydrate
C
Fat
D
Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates. You burn a lot of carbohydrates-the main fuel for your muscles-when you exercise. In the 20-60 minutes after your workout, your muscles can store carbohydrates and protein as energy and help in recovery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your body needs carbs to fuel your working muscles. Protein is there to help build and repair. Get a combination of the protein and carbs in your body 1 to 4 hours pre-workout and within approximately 60 minutes post-workout.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbs help maximize your body’s ability to use glycogen to fuel short and high intensity exercises, while fat helps fuel your body for longer exercise sessions. Eating protein helps improve muscle protein synthesis, prevent muscle damage, and promote recovery.

Detailed explanation-4: -Choose something that includes carbohydrates: this could be a banana, or low-fat natural yogurt, crackers with low-fat soft cheese, a smoothie or a glass of low-fat milk. Avoid foods high in fat or fibre, as they take longer to digest and may cause stomach discomfort during exercise.
