5 Signs You’re Not Eating Enough Before a Workout

“Remember, food gives you energy,” Albert Matheny, M.S., R.D., C.S.C.S., cofounder of SoHo Strength Lab in New York City and advisor to Promix Nutrition, tells SELF. “Specifically, carbohydrates are what give you the energy you need for moderate- to high-intensity exercise. If you don’t have enough in your system, you won’t be able to output any significant amount of energy.”

If you’re not fueling properly, “Short term, you’ll feel crummy.
