@trainbloom: Used in the right setting, candy can actually help you get to your goals 🍭 (or just be another excuse to eat sour strips…👨🏻‍🦯) Using simple sugars intra-workout is a pretty common practice in bodybuilding and powerlifting Because it can help you train harder, and longer, allowing you to put more stress on your body⚡️ Does this mean everyone that works out needs to be eating candy? No🥺 Basing this off myself and working with hundreds of clients in the past, I notice a small intraworkout carb source (15-25g of carbs) can be helpful in 2 situations: 1) If you train fasted (i.e. haven’t eaten a meal in the past 4-6 hours Or 2) Your workouts are higher intensity weight sessions and last longer than an hour Both situations where gas tends to run out before the workout is over🤘🏽 And yes, you can use something more natural like honey, maple syrup, fruit juice, or dates like a lot of people in the comments usually bring up But this is a great time you’re able to eat a treat satisfing some cravings (like with gummy bears, sour strips, etc.) where essentially 100% of what you’re eating will immediately be used as fuel during your workout You can eat your honey and get sticky, but don’t hate on someone with candy, it’s not *bad* for you in this setting👍🏼 #FitTok #GymTok #gym #Fitness #fitnessmotivation
