Here’s how you can make this breakfast staple benefit your runs, according to two R.D.s.
, it’s okay to consume processed carbs before, during, and immediately after a workout, but at all other times, you should reach for less processed options.that is 100-percent whole grain; that could be whole wheat, bran, or oat. This type of cereal will likely provide more fiber as well as nutrients. If you don’t like the taste of “plain” cereal , try naturally sweetening it with fresh or frozen fruit and adding protein withor plain greek yogurt, suggests Goodson.
Additionally, you’ll want to look out for cereals with excessive amounts of added sugar or sodium, Zanini says. Be sure to seek out those that are also good sources of fiber and protein, which will help stabilize blood glucose levels and keep you full.Low in sodium, a good source of fiber, made of 100-percent whole grains, and only 2 grams of sugar per serving. Add it to plain yogurt for an even higher protein option in the morning, Zanini suggests.
The bottom line: Cereal can be a healthy meal or snack option for active runners when choosing an option that’s made with whole grains, low in sugar, and fortified with vitamins and minerals, but of course, no one food is designed to provide all the nutrients you need, Goodson says. Adding a protein such as milk or yogurt can make it a more complete option, and because cereal is processed, it’s best when consumed on days you’re doing heavy training.
