Wellness Hub / Nutrition for Training: No BS Guide
Nutrition Reference guide All Levels

Skip the fad diets and supplement scams. This guide covers the nutritional fundamentals that actually affect your training performance and recovery. Calorie and macro frameworks, meal timing around workouts, hydration protocols, and simple meal ideas you can prep in bulk. No sponsored products, no miracle foods — just science you can use.

01

Calorie & Macro Basics

How to calculate your training-day and rest-day calories. Protein targets: 0.7-1g per pound of bodyweight. Carb and fat splits based on training intensity and goals (muscle gain vs. fat loss vs. maintenance).

02

Pre-Workout Nutrition

Eat 2-3 hours before training: balanced meal with protein, complex carbs, moderate fat. Quick option 30-60 min out: simple carbs + small protein source. Fasted training considerations and when it makes sense.

03

Post-Workout Recovery

The "anabolic window" is mostly myth — total daily intake matters more. That said, a protein-rich meal within 2 hours supports recovery. Carb replenishment for glycogen restoration after intense sessions.

04

Meal Prep Framework

5 simple meal templates you can rotate weekly. Each hits macro targets for a training day. Grocery list template included. Total prep time: under 2 hours for the week.
