Pre & Post-Workout Nutrition Guide

What you eat around your workout fuels your performance and your recovery. A simple, no-nonsense guide to before, during and after.

/ Before you train

Hydrate first — even mild dehydration drains energy and focus. Sip water in the hour before you start.

Aim for easy carbs with a little protein 60–90 minutes out. It tops up your energy so you can push harder without feeling heavy.

/ During your session

For most workouts, water is enough. For long or very sweaty sessions, add electrolytes to keep cramps and fatigue away.

/ After you finish

Recovery starts the moment you rack the last weight. Protein rebuilds the muscle you just worked; carbs refill your energy stores.

A balanced meal within a couple of hours does the job — no need to obsess over the exact minute.

/ Keep it simple

You don't need a complicated plan, just a repeatable one. Real food, enough protein and steady hydration will out-perform any fad, every time.
