Nutrition to Fuel Your Workouts

Make sure you are giving your body what it needs to perform at its best during workouts.

 

In summary, eat 1-3 hours before your workout. You’ll have to see where in that range works best for you. Have something higher in carbs with some protein. Try to stay away from fatty foods; these take longer to digest and will leave you feeling sluggish.

 

Try to eat sometime within an hour after you finish your workout. Whole foods and a complete meal are best but a protein shake or some other quick combination of protein and carbs works well too.
