What Should I Eat Before and After a Workout

Nutrition plays a vital role in your workout performance and recovery. At Cobra Command CrossFit, we emphasize the importance of proper pre- and post-workout nutrition to help you achieve your fitness goals.

Pre-Workout Nutrition:

  • Carbohydrates: Fuel your body with complex carbs like oatmeal, sweet potatoes, or whole grains to provide sustained energy.
  • Protein: Include a moderate amount of protein to support muscle repair and growth. Greek yogurt, lean meats, or a protein shake are great options.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support optimal performance.

Post-Workout Nutrition:

  • Protein: Consuming protein after your workout helps repair and build muscles. Opt for lean meats, eggs, or protein shakes.
  • Carbohydrates: Replenish your glycogen stores with complex carbs like brown rice, quinoa, or fruits.
  • Fats: Include healthy fats to support overall health and recovery. Avocado, nuts, and olive oil are excellent choices.
  • Hydration: Rehydrate with water or an electrolyte-rich drink to replace lost fluids.
  • Proper nutrition before and after workouts can significantly impact your performance and recovery.
