Fueling UP, Before and After[Workout]

Why you should eat beforehand?

Preworkout calories fuel your body to perform optimally during your 'gym time'.

Plus, the right mix of nutrients can help improve your mood and performance.

So enjoy one or two servings of carbs and a serving of protein up to 30 minutes before starting your workout.

Why you should eat afterward?

Protein helps your body recover by providing a fresh infusion of amino acids to repair muscle.

Meanwhile, carbs raise your insulin level, which slows protein breakdown and encourages muscle growth after your workout.

Your postworkout meal should basically match what you ate beforehand.
