Common Questions About Workout Nutrition
How much protein do I need per day?
Protein requirements vary based on training intensity and body composition goals. Generally, aim for 1.6–2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight daily for muscle building. Our detailed article provides calculations for endurance athletes, strength athletes, and general fitness enthusiasts.
What should I eat 30 minutes before a workout?
The ideal pre-workout meal depends on your training type. For strength training, a combination of carbohydrates and moderate protein works best. Our pre-workout nutrition guide provides specific examples and macronutrient breakdowns for different workout styles.
