Nutrition is one of the most important pillars of sport. No matter how hard you train, if you don't eat right, you won't achieve your goals.

Pre-workout meal

It is recommended to have a balanced meal 2-3 hours before training, containing carbohydrates (energy source), protein (muscle building) and healthy fats.

Recommended foods:

  • Whole grain bread with avocado and egg
  • Oatmeal with fruit and walnuts
  • Chicken breast with rice and vegetables

Post-workout meal

It is recommended to eat within 30-60 minutes after training so that your body can recover. At this time, protein and carbohydrate intake is particularly important.

Recommended foods:

  • Protein shake with banana
  • Greek yogurt with granola
  • Grilled fish with sweet potato

Hydration

Don't forget about proper fluid intake! It is important to consume water or isotonic drinks during and after training.
