Take break of about 20 minutes to 30 mins between the meal and the workout session. Consume meals that are smaller and simpler.

Drinking a protein shake or full meal within 1-2 hours requires lean muscles and energy buildup. 

Consume simple carbohydrates like fruits, sprouts or dates and 10 soaked almonds.

Strength training requires enormous protein intake, while cardio routines need a good carbohydrate intake with protein to balance the calories. 

After workout eat foods like eggs, chicken breast, turkey, whole grains, cottage cheese and veggies.
