376. Q&A: Pre and Post Workout Eating (What To Eat Before You Workout)

If you've ever wondered what you should eat before or after a workout, but don't want to overthink it or derail your fat loss goals — this episode breaks it down simply. On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by a listener named Annie about how to fuel your body for running, from what to eat before and after your workouts to why your body can respond in ways that feel confusing. There's so much conflicting advice when it comes to pre and post-workout nutrition, and it can quickly turn into overthinking every snack, every meal, and every workout. So instead of giving you more rules, I'm breaking this down in a way that actually makes sense for fat loss and performance.  In this episode, I first walk you through how to approach pre-workout fueling so you can support your energy without adding unnecessary calories, then we get into post-workout fueling specifically through the lens of fat loss and what your body actually needs to recover without sabotaging your goals. I also share practical recommendations and best practices for women who are incorporating more cardio, especially running, so you can fuel smarter without overthinking every bite. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes: 🎙️ Episode 359: Q&A: Why Your Workouts Aren't Leading to Fat Loss 🎙️ Episode 110: 5 Reasons Why You Don't Look Like You Workout I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
