1.Protein shake

While protein is taken by men and women to build muscle mass it is also able to aid in the loss of weight to help shred effects of fat and define lean muscle, but not all proteins works the same, first and foremost you need to figure out your personal goals. Are you looking to gain lean muscle or just sneak in some extra nutrient boost? If it’s the latter one, protein shake might come in handy, it will ease your hunger longer, simply mix protein powder with water which has no extra calories. For pre or post workout fuel supplement, isolate protein powder works the best, it helps release energy faster and you don’t need to wait to reap its benefits, just prepare an isolate protein shake prior you hit the gym.

2.Caffeine drinks

Many females are worried about the negative effects coffee or tea may cause for workout, actually caffeine is a natural workout energizer. If you take a cup of coffee or tea as pre-workout drink, it will stimulate some particular parts of the brain to make you feel less tired, increase your attention and focus on the exercise. Just remember that you’d better control the amount of caffeine, 100mg is medium for workout, generally one cup of brewed coffee contains 70-140 mg of caffeine, and be aware of adding too much sugar on it if you want to keep fit.
