If you often find exercise difficult or strenuous, in addition to checking whether the intensity of exercise is too high, you should also check your eating patterns: Do you eat on time? Do you exercise on an empty stomach? Does your diet include enough carbohydrate-rich foods?

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)" recommends that a reasonable daily diet for each person should include staple foods, vegetables, fungi, algae, fruits, poultry, livestock, meat/aquatic products, milk, eggs, and soy products, appropriate fats and oils, and sufficient water intake. In simple terms, it means that every meal should include meat, vegetables, and staple foods, and every day, there should be milk, eggs, and soy products, and sufficient fruit and water; eat a small amount of nuts every week, and have three meals a day regularly. This is a healthy diet plan suitable for fitness exercises.

If you are going to do a high-intensity exercise, you can also supplement a snack with a total energy of 200-300 kcal and rich in complex carbohydrates about 1 hour before exercise, and increase your water intake to ensure energy supply during exercise. It is worth noting that you should not forget to subtract this part of energy from the main meal of the day to control the total energy intake.
