A new study revealed that dark chocolate helps you perform better when eaten before a workout. In dark chocolate was found epicatechin-the healthy flavonoid, which helps in a natural way to increase your energy. However, only small amount of dark chocolate (approximately 5 grams) is needed to enhance the performance. Overeating would undo the benefit.
Further, milk chocolate would not suffice, as it is too processed.
Some chocolaty pre-workout snacks:
....a handful of dark chocolate chips
or ....a few dark chocolate covered pretzels
or ....a cup of coffee with a sprinkle of cocoa
Do not overdo it!!! If you are still craving chocolate after a workout, make yourself a glass of chocolate milk.
