It's Peak Week, and carbohydrates are one of your best tools for supporting demanding training sessions.

Carbs help replenish muscle glycogen—stored energy your body uses during repeated, high-intensity efforts.

The key? Match your fuel to your training schedule.

EARLY MORNING | 5–8 AM

Keep it light and easy to digest.

• Before: Banana, toast with honey, or a small serving of oatmeal if you have time.
• After: Eggs, oatmeal, and berries—or a protein shake with fruit.

Don't force a big meal at 5 AM. Just make sure you're fueled from the day before and recover afterward.

MID-MORNING | 8 AM–NOON

You've got a little more time to prepare.

• Before: Oatmeal with Greek yogurt and berries, ideally 1–3 hours before training.
• After: Chicken, rice, and vegetables—or a turkey sandwich with fruit.

AFTERNOON + EVENING | AFTER 3 PM

Your earlier meals set the stage.

• Before: Balanced breakfast and lunch, plus a banana or granola bar 30–90 minutes before training if needed.
• After: Lean protein, potatoes or rice, and vegetables.
