Nutrition basics

Three habits that support training

Start with these practical fundamentals. Adjust them over time as your routine and goals change.

Protein

Daily protein intake

Spread protein across meals to support muscle repair. Eggs, Greek yogurt, lean meat, beans, and tofu are everyday options.

Hydration

Drink water through the day

Sip water consistently rather than all at once. Keep a bottle nearby during workouts and notice how you feel after training.

Carb timing

Fuel before and after training

A simple meal of rice, fruit, or oats before a session can help energy. Pair carbs with protein afterward to support recovery.

Recovery

Sleep and rest drive progress

Muscles adapt when you rest, not only when you train. Aim for consistent sleep, plan rest days into your week, and let your body recover between hard sessions.

Light active recovery, such as walking or gentle mobility work, can ease soreness and keep you moving on off days. If you feel persistent pain, check in with a qualified professional.
