I used to train under-fueled and undernourished. I’d drink black coffee in the morning, then go and train fasted. This is a bad strategy if you want to optimise your body composition.

So, I wanted to discuss the importance of pre-workout, intra-workout and post-workout nutrition.In this episode, Craig and I chat about:➡️Why carbs and protein are important for pre and post workout➡️Timing of pre and post workout meals➡️Intra-workout drinks and how they can help improve performance, when to use them➡️Pre and Post-workout meal principles and examples➡️Whey protein and casein, when to use them➡️When to use creatineLINKSJoin our 7-Day Eat More, Train Less, Get Results ChallengeLearn more about our 16-week Winatlife Accelerator Program: Book your callFollow:Kitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldSHOW NOTES01:50 - What does toned actually mean 02:47 - Why can you perform better in the gym if you consume carbs?03:37 - Why you need to make sure you get a decent amount of protein before or after working out05:03 - Would it be beneficial if you consume carbs during your training?07:54 - Pre workout meal examples11:39 - Intra-workout drinks and how they can help improve performance, when to use them16:24 - Post-workout meal principles and examples19:36 - Why do you need to eat after training?20:23 - Is it okay to fast before hitting the gym?22:34 - Whey protein and casein, when to use them24:05 - When and how to use creatine 28:18 - Doing the basics and being consistent why this is important  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
