But with the right timing strategy, you can get 20\u201330% more out of every workout.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pre-workout: carbohydrates + low fat, 2\u20133 hours before training<\/li>\n<li>During training: only necessary for sessions over 90 minutes (gels, banana)<\/li>\n<li>Post-workout: 20\u201340g protein + carbohydrates within 2 hours<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;anabolic window&#8221; is a myth \u2014 overall intake matters more than timing<\/li>\n<li>Hydration: 500ml per hour of training, up to 1 litre in the heat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Pre-Workout: The Right Meal Before Training<\/h2>\n<p>The ideal pre-workout meal sits 2\u20133 hours before training and is built primarily around carbohydrates (1\u20132g per kilogram of body weight), a moderate amount of protein, and little fat. Examples: oats with banana, rice with chicken, wholegrain bread with quark.<\/p>\n<p>30 minutes before training: a small snack at most (half a banana, a rice cake). Nothing fatty, nothing high in fibre \u2014 it sits in your stomach and diverts blood away from the muscles that need it most.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Post-Workout: What Really Matters After Training<\/h2>\n<p>The &#8220;anabolic window&#8221; \u2014 the idea that you need protein within 30 minutes of finishing a workout \u2014 has been largely debunked. Studies show that as long as you eat a protein-rich meal within 2 hours, the effect is identical.<\/p>\n<p>What counts: 20\u201340g of high-quality protein (quark, eggs, chicken, tofu) plus carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores. Protein shakes are convenient but not superior \u2014 a real meal does exactly the same job.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Supplements: What Actually Works and What&#8217;s a Waste of Money<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Scientifically proven:<\/strong> Creatine (3\u20135g daily, the oldest and most researched supplement), caffeine (3\u20136mg\/kg, 30 minutes before training), vitamin D (if deficient \u2014 get a blood test). These three have hundreds of studies behind them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Waste of money:<\/strong> BCAAs (unnecessary if you&#8217;re getting enough protein), fat burners (ineffective or dangerous), most pre-workout boosters (mainly caffeine in expensive packaging), detox products (your liver does that for free).<\/p>\n<p>The golden rule: if a supplement promises more than a 5% performance boost, it&#8217;s either banned or a scam.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div style=\"margin-top:45px; padding:28px 25px 12px; background:rgba(0,0,0,0.03); border-radius:10px; border-left:4px solid #00d4c8;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:48px;margin-bottom:4px;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:0.85em;color:#666;\">Click on a question to reveal the answer.<\/p>\n<details style=\"margin:0 !important;padding:0 !important;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,212,212,0.15);background:transparent !important;\">\n<summary style=\"display:flex !important;align-items:center !important;justify-content:flex-start !important;gap:12px !important;padding:16px 4px !important;cursor:pointer;list-style:none !important;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;color:#1a2a2e;line-height:1.4;text-align:left !important;margin:0 !important;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/pfeil.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:18px;height:18px;min-width:18px;opacity:0.6;transform:rotate(-90deg);transition:transform 0.3s ease;\" class=\"ibs-faq-arrow\"> Should you work out before breakfast?<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:0 0 18px 30px;color:#333;line-height:1.7;font-size:0.96em;text-align:left;\">Slightly beneficial for fat burning, detrimental for performance.
