what to eat before a workout to lose fat and build muscle
You’re working out consistently, eating “clean,” and the scale still isn’t moving. Turns out timing matters just as much as what’s on your plate.
Quick breakdown:
0-60 minutes before: fruit, a granola bar, toast with nut butter, trail mix, a smoothie with fruit, or dates
1-2 hours before: yogurt and granola, apple with nut butter, oatmeal with milk berries and nuts, whole grain cereal with milk, or a smoothie with protein
2+ hours before: eggs toast and avocado, salmon with asparagus and potatoes, a salad kit with chicken and olive oil, tofu with broccoli and quinoa, or a sandwich with a side salad
Meal timing is one piece of the puzzle. If you want the full picture, I’m hosting a free masterclass Tuesday, September 29th at 11am CT.
