Rutgers University Fueling for Exercise Sports Products vs Whole Foods Discussion

 

I’m working on a Nutritional Sciences exercise and need support.

While in the gym, you overhear two people arguing over the best foods and drinks to consume before, during, and after exercise. Person 1 feels strongly that formulated sports products like sports bars and drinks are superior to regular foods. Person 2 feels even stronger that sports products are just a waste of money and regular foods and plain water are superior fueling choices. You complete your workout but can’t stop thinking about this argument. Based on what you have learned thus far in class, who is right, Person 1 or Person 2? Support your answer.
