Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition Guide

November 27, 2025

Summary

1 min read

A simple guide to what to eat before and after training so you have energy in the session and recover well afterward.

Pre-workout nutrition

\n

1–3 hours before training, aim for a meal with carbs, some protein, and low-to-moderate fat. This gives you energy without feeling too heavy.

\n

During training

\n

Most lifters only need water. For long or very intense sessions, a drink with carbs and electrolytes can help.

\n

Post-workout nutrition

\n

Within a few hours after training, consume 20–40 g of protein and some carbs to support muscle repair and glycogen replenishment.

\n

Real-life examples

\n

Examples include yogurt with fruit and granola, rice with chicken and vegetables, or a protein shake plus a banana.
