@my.macros: PRE-WORKOUT The goal is to give your body fuel it can access during training. That means carbs, but the best timing depends on how quick digesting they are. Fast digesting foods like rice cakes, honey, or cereal can be eaten as little as 30-60 min before. If you're going with something slower digesting like oatmeal, give it 1-2 hours before heading to train. A little protein helps too (15-20g) but carbs are the priority here. POST-WORKOUT You're doing two things - refilling energy and giving your muscles what they need to repair. Aim for 20-40g of protein to trigger muscle protein synthesis, plus carbs to refuel what you burned. Chicken and rice, beef and sweet potato, or a quick shake and apple all do the trick. But here's the part that actually matters most: the timing and food quality only get you so far if you're guesstimating everything. Logging your pre and post workout meals is what tells you whether you’re actually fueling for your goals.
