Optimizing nutrition around your workouts can boost performance and recovery.
- Pre-Workout (1-3 hrs before): Complex carbs + lean protein for sustained energy.
- During-Workout (for long/intense sessions): Fast-digesting carbs (e.g., intra-workout drink with dextrose, cyclic dextrin) for energy.
- Post-Workout (within 2 hrs): Protein + fast-digesting carbs for recovery and synthesis.
