What to Eat Before and After Exercise

Pre-Workout nutrition should include carbs and easily digestible protein 1-3 hours before exercising. Post-workout, consume a 3:1 carb-to-protein ratio within 30 minutes to replenish glycogen stores and aid muscle repair. Avoid sugary drinks, hard-to-digest foods, and not eating anything post-workout.
