Brown rice with chicken: If you tend to exercise after lunch or dinner, avoid rich foods and have a simple dish of brown rice with chicken or tofu. It's a bland meal that sits well and provides a good amount of carbs and protein, says Meine.
What happens if you only eat bread? Bread is carbs so when you eat carbs it turns into sugar, which makes you hungrier sooner and it makes you gain weight. Bread or other carbs (rice, pasta, etc.) are good to eaâ¦t before exercising but if you cut back on carbs such as these and eat more proteins you will lose weight.
