Summary

Hey sis!
Let's settle this once and for all: Do you need to eat before a workout?

You've probably heard all kinds of answers, some people swear by fasted training, others won't touch a dumbbell without a snack first. So what's the truth?

I'm giving you real-world tips you can use starting today, plus snack ideas that are quick, effective, and easy to digest.

Bottom line? Fueling is personal, but there's also a strategy behind it. And I'm walking you through both.

Want to feel better in your workouts and get the results you're working for? This episode is your guide.

In today's episode, we're breaking it all down based on your schedule, your goals, and your body. I walk you through:

  • When fasted workouts are fine—and when they might backfire

  • What to eat before training (without needing a full meal)

  • Why afternoon and evening workouts require fuel

  • What happens when you under-eat before a lift (and how to fix it)

  • And how to simplify your approach so your body feels strong and steady—without overthinking it

🎧 If this topic hits home, you'll definitely want to listen to Episode 554: Why Understanding These 2 Types of Hunger Can Change Everything
