Whether you're just starting out on your fitness journey or you're a regular at the gym, what you eat before and after your workouts can make a huge difference in your energy levels, recovery, and overall results. At Answer Fitness in Raynham, MA, our personal trainers are always emphasizing the importance of nutrition—not just during the day, but especially around your training sessions.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how to fuel your body before and after your workouts to get the most out of every session.
Your pre-workout meal or snack should give you the energy to power through your session without weighing you down. Ideally, you want something that includes carbohydrates for quick fuel and a little protein to support your muscles.
Eat this 1–2 hours before:

Pro Tip: Avoid high-fat or heavy meals right before training. They take longer to digest and could leave you feeling sluggish.
After a tough session at Answer is Fitness, your body needs nutrients to repair muscles and replenish energy stores. The key here is to eat a balanced mix of protein and carbs within an hour of finishing your workout.
Best post-workout meals:
Why it matters: Skipping post-workout nutrition can lead to slower recovery and make it harder to build strength or lose fat.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, or just feel better day-to-day, the right fuel helps turn your effort into real progress. Our certified personal trainers in Raynham can help you personalize your nutrition and training plan so you feel confident both in and out of the gym.
