Most athletes spend considerable time thinking about what they eat before and after training. Pre-workout meals, post-workout shakes, macro timing — these are well-established concepts. But what about what you consume during your workout? Intra-workout nutrition is one of the most overlooked and underutilized tools for improving performance, and the science behind it is compelling.

You don’t need a perfect meal plan; you just need to put the right carbs in the right places in your day.

Let’s walk through how to use pre‑workout carbs in a way that drives strength and training volume without turning your diet into a blood sugar roller coaster.
