Grab-a-Snack Mix
Forget the chocolate bars and potato chips. Consulting dietitian Fran Berkoff suggests having a high-carbohydrate snack with just a little low-fat protein at least two hours before your workout for maximum energy. (The food needs to be digested for the energy to be used efficiently by muscles.) This trail mix fills the bill and is easy to tote.
