Whether you’re lifting heavy, crushing a conditioning workout, or going for a run, what you eat before and after can make or break your performance. Proper fuel helps you train harder, recover faster, and see better results. The good news? You don’t need anything fancy—just the right balance of real, whole foods.
The goal before a workout is simple: give your body the energy it needs to perform without weighing you down.
Quick snack idea: A banana with a spoonful of NATURAL peanut butter. It’s fast, simple, and effective.
After a tough session, your body is primed to replenish energy stores and rebuild muscle. That’s why your post-workout meal is just as important as your pre-workout fuel.
Post-workout meal example: Grilled chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and a side of mixed veggies. Need something premade? Check our FitFreshFast.com
Not all foods are great fuel. Avoid these right before your workout:
Everyone is different. Some people prefer eating a full meal a couple of hours before training, while others do better with a small snack closer to their workout. Pay attention to how different foods affect your energy and performance, and adjust accordingly.
Fueling your body doesn’t need to be complicated. Stick to simple, whole foods that give you lasting energy and help your body recover. Over time, you’ll find the pre- and post-workout meals that work best for you.
