Fitness Grocery List: 30 Food Staples for the Active Woman

The active woman needs to meet her energy needs not only to carry out her day but to power her through her workouts! Here are 30 food staples fit for the active woman.

One of the most common questions I get is what should I eat before a workout? Heck I even ask myself that from time to time. While a pre-workout meal or snack can vary so much from person to person based on likes, dislikes, allergies, and culture, I thought it would be helpful to share a list of foods that fuel our busy days and especially our workouts. This is just a general list and of course your dietary needs and preferences are priority.
