Sports Drinks During Exercise
Your body is made up of mostly water, which makes it the ideal fluid for intake during a workout. If you exercise for longer than an hour, or very intensely, you may need to replace the carbohydrates used to fuel exercise and the electrolytes lost in sweat.
Drinking sports drinks (like Gatorade® or Powerade®) that contain carbohydrates and electrolytes is a great way to hydrate during long or intense exercise. If you are working out for less than an hour, water and a well-balanced meal after your workout will replace the fluid and energy that your body used while exercising. Sports drinks such as Gatorade G2®, Propel®, Vitamin Water 10®, and Powerade Zero® provide electrolytes, but they are either low in carbohydrates or have no carbohydrates in them, so they can be a good option to drink during shorter workouts.

Cooking spray

4 (6-ounce) Tilapia fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons light mayo
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
