Exercising on an empty stomach makes you more likely to lose muscle, and without any extra gas in the tank, your exercise intensity and overall calorie burn will take a hit. An hour or two before working out, snack on 100 to 200 calories of complex carbs and protein (like a cup of nonfat yogurt or a piece of fruit and a cheese stick).

According to a study in Nutrition Research, exercisers who drank green tea extract, which contains therapeutic antioxidants, had less muscle damage afterworkouts compared with those who drank only water.
Snack
Red apples, berries, and grapes contain the antioxidant quercetin, which can boost your endurance and oxygen capacity, making workouts feel more doable, according to a study from the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health. Researchers believe quercetin also helps the fatigue that can cause you to skip workouts.
