Are you trying to get in shape by working out? If so, you may not be successful unless you watch what and when you eat. Mild workouts don’t demand as much attention to regenerating muscle tissue as workouts that involve more strenuous exercise; but, your body will function better if you feed it with carbohydrate and protein. Portion sizes are important, as less strenuous exercise does not burn as many calories. Watch your portion sizes so you can enjoy the weight-loss or muscle-building benefits from your workouts.
