Pre-Workout Fuel
Your pre-workout meal should focus on carbs for energy and protein for muscle support.
• 2–3 Hours Before: A balanced meal like brown rice, chicken, and greens.
• 30–60 Minutes Before (if short on time): A banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter or a small protein smoothie.
Post-Workout Recovery
After your workout, your body is primed to absorb nutrients. Feed it well.
• Within 30–60 Minutes: Combine fast-digesting carbs and protein. Think grilled salmon with sweet potato, or a protein shake with oats and berries.
• Don’t Forget: Hydration and electrolytes. Coconut water or a pinch of salt in your water can do the trick.
Eating around your workouts doesn’t need to be a science experiment — just fuel smart and stay consistent.
