What are some high-energy foods?

Answer by  kmccarte (187)

Oats are great, because they provide your body with a stream of energy, since they take longer to digest. Bananas are rich in potassium, which is key to maintain while you're working out. Coffee has also been found to temporarily boost energy levels as well.

The best high energy foods are those that contain high amounts of protein. These include beans, soy, meat, eggs and cheese. They will provide you with long term benefits. High sugar foods give you an immediate burst of energy, but your glucose will drop rapidly leaving you feel tired.

You can boost short term energy by eating foods high in simple sugars. This will lead to a crash. Consider eating more protein which will take longer to digest and give you a smoother level of energy.
