This is the first episode in our new Fast Fueling Facts series. These episodes are designed to highlight key areas of sports nutrition and equip you with actionable tips for optimizing your nutrition and performance. Today, we cover the importance of pre- and post-workout fueling for performance and recovery: the what, why, when and how much. We talk about nutrition timing for training at different times of day, including plenty of great meal and snack ideas. Remember, as athletes -that refers to anyone who exercises regularly, regardless of ability- we have different nutritional needs to the general population.
