Nutrition tip: Whether you exercise in the morning, afternoon or evening, try to eat before and after you train. Youll boost energy levels to stay sharp, both mentally and physically, throughout your workout and help your body recover better afterwards. Studies show that a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein is best depending on the intensity and duration of your workout. - For short, low to medium intensity workout, a 2:1 ratio is enough. - For longer, harder sessions, aim for a 3:1 ratio. Youll need the extra carbs to help refuel your depleted energy levels. - Keeping those ratios in mind, aim for a combination of 15-30g protein and 30-90 grams of carbs before and after your workout.
