Episode Details

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. After meeting Craig, I realised when I actually ate before training, my performance was so much better. 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 creatine
