Is this good for me??

[prettynginger]

I'm new to training in the gym and just wondering if what I'm eating is any good for me?

Because I'm at work and looking for something I can eat quickly.

Is having lettuce, a pepper, a little bit of feta cheese, and some couscous good enough for a lunch before I go to the gym at 6:30pm?

I just don't want to be eating this if it's not going to be beneficial when I'm training.

Thanks guys x

Wtf?! Don't know why you'd wanna eat that before the gym in particular but its not unhealthy. PB on whole grain IMO would be a better choice.

With a banana.

Add some diced/shredded chicken to it.

All of the replies here are good options. But perhaps it would help you to understand why.

You would benefit from having a small, balanced meal before training. Getting a few carbohydrates in your body will help you with energy in the gym and recovery afterwards. Protein and fat do similar things, as well. Basically, you need to get a little of each to have a good pre workout meal.

Your current meal has only a small amount d carbs and is primarily dominated by fat. Consider having your pre workout meal be composed primarily of carbs with some protein and limit the fat.

Hope this helps!
