Nutrition Q&A: Protein After Workouts, Carbohydrate Timing and Going Over Your Macros

17 Mar 2025

Description

You know that feeling when you scroll through fitness advice online and suddenly feel like you're doing everything wrong? One person says you have to chug a protein shake right after your workout, another says you must eat carbs before training or your workout is useless, and then there's that whole debate about whether you should eat less the day after going over your macros. It's a LOT. But today, we're breaking it all down and keeping it real. Because the truth is—meal timing isn't as rigid as social media makes it seem. In this episode, we're diving into three BIG questions I know so many of you have: What I discuss: You do not need to slam protein after your workout. It's about how much protein you eat daily, not about how much you eat after working out. You do not need to fuel before workouts if you're not hungry. Listen to your body and give it what it needs.  If you go over your macros, don't make it up for it the next day, just try to hit your macros tomorrow.  If you don't know what your macros should be, I got you, sister.
