What to Eat Before and After Your Workout

Nutrition Timing Matters

What you eat before and after exercise directly impacts your performance, recovery, and results. Think of food as fuel — the right fuel at the right time can make or break your training session.

Pre-Workout Nutrition (1-2 Hours Before)

What to Eat

  • Complex carbs: Oatmeal, whole grain bread, rice — sustained energy
  • Lean protein: Greek yogurt, eggs, chicken — muscle support
  • Light fats: Small amount of nuts or avocado — steady energy

Quick Pre-Workout Options

  1. Banana with peanut butter (30 min before)
  2. Oatmeal with berries (60 min before)
  3. Rice with chicken breast (90 min before)
  4. Greek yogurt with granola (45 min before)

Post-Workout Nutrition (Within 45 Minutes)

The Recovery Window

After exercise, your muscles are primed to absorb nutrients. The 30-45 minute window after training is when nutrient uptake is most efficient.

  • Protein: 20-40g to kickstart muscle repair (whey shake, chicken, eggs)
  • Carbs: Replenish glycogen stores (rice, potato, fruit)
  • Hydration: Replace fluids lost through sweat
You don't need expensive supplements. Whole foods like eggs, rice, chicken, and fruit provide everything your body needs for recovery.

What to Avoid

  • High-fat meals before training: Slow digestion can cause discomfort
  • Excessive fiber before exercise: Can cause GI issues
  • Alcohol post-workout: Impairs protein synthesis and recovery
  • Skipping meals entirely: Low energy = poor performance and injury risk

Walking Day Nutrition

On days you're focusing on Morld's walk-to-earn, a lighter approach works. A balanced breakfast, steady hydration, and a small snack before your walk keeps your energy up for maximum steps.
