What should you eat when you work out?
Your food should give you energy, support recovery and fit into your routine. You do not need to cut out all carbohydrates or live on salads to make progress.
What should you eat before a workout?
Choose something that gives you energy without leaving you feeling too full. Good options include porridge with fruit, yoghurt with berries, a banana with nut butter, rice with chicken or cottage cheese with fruit.
What should you eat after a workout?
A meal or snack with protein and carbohydrates can support recovery. Try chicken with rice, cottage cheese and fruit, an omelette with bread, fish with potatoes or Greek yoghurt.
Can you still eat sweets?
Yes. One dessert will not undo your progress. Your overall habits matter far more than any single food choice. Overly strict rules can lead to guilt and make it harder to stick with a routine.
How can you put together a balanced plate?
A simple guide is to fill half your plate with vegetables, one quarter with a source of protein and one quarter with carbohydrates. It is a flexible framework that can make everyday choices easier.
