Carbohydrates before a workout are much more than just fuel — they’re a performance booster and mood stabilizer. When consumed 30–60 minutes before training, a moderate portion of carbs can enhance your endurance, improve focus, and even reduce perceived effort. That means you’re not only physically prepared, but mentally locked in.

For strength or shorter workouts, fast-digesting carbs like banana, honey, or rice cakes work well to give you a quick energy lift. But when you're planning a longer endurance session, it’s smarter to combine fast and slow carbs — for example, oats with honey or wholegrain bread with jam — to sustain energy throughout your entire workout.

Don’t forget protein either. Adding a source of protein to your pre-workout meal (like yogurt or a protein shake) helps prevent muscle breakdown and keeps your body in an anabolic state.

💡 Pro tip: The right combo of fast and slow carbs + protein = better performance, more motivation, and less fatigue.
