Description

 In this episode of Vegan Proteins Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben and Alice dive into the topic of peri-workout nutrition: what to eat before, during, and after your workouts to maximize energy, performance, and recovery.

They discuss the pros and cons of training fasted, how carbohydrates and glycogen protect your muscles, the importance of hydration and electrolytes, and practical strategies for vegan athletes to stay fueled without overcomplicating meal timing.

Whether you train early in the morning or later in the day, this episode offers science-backed tips to help you train smarter and recover stronger on a plant-based diet.
