The calories stored as fat are burned much more effectively when your body is searching for fuel during exercise, yet eating beforehand - especially carbs - is a common mistake and is one reason why people can't seem to drop pounds despite expending lots of effort in the gym. The high glycemic index carbs (like those found in most energy bars) rapidly turn into blood sugar, which the body uses as a fuel. This prevents or delays the burning of reserve calories and protects fat stores. <br /> <br />It is very important to cut out carbs before you exercise. Higher protein intake will benefit your workout and stay away from the energy bars until after your workout. I would recommend working out 2-3 hours after eating.
