About to go in for a workout and I want to share what I typically eat pre and post workout. So this is important because in order to create more muscle mass, and you want to create more muscle mass because the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest, the better your metabolism works. And also because muscle takes up less space than fat on our body, so we're going to look leaner and tighter. Okay, so lots of benefits to creating muscle mass. When you work out and you create intensity, you create progression, and you put load on muscles to grow, you have to fuel, fuel your muscles in order to make a change. And you fuel them by your nutrition. So you do need protein and you need carbs to help muscle grow. So what do I suggest pre and post workout? What I suggest is a little bit of clean protein and a little bit of simple carbs. Why do I do that and not add fat right then is you don't want to slow down the absorption. You want to be able to absorb the protein and carbs into your muscles as quick as possible to help charge your workout and to help you recover and to help get that muscle.
