Nutrition for an Active Lifestyle

Active people often benefit from planning meals around training.

A meal or snack with carbohydrates and some protein a few hours before training can provide energy.

After training, a regular meal with protein and carbohydrates supports recovery.

Supplements are not required for most people; talk to a qualified professional before starting any.

Practical examples

  • A banana with peanut butter before a workout.
  • Chicken, rice and vegetables after.
