For the average person hitting the gym, as long as they aren't training during fasting, getting a ton of pre-workout carbs is not necessary. Once pre-workout protein is met, very little, if any carbs, are needed for additional benefit. If you still want more energy before your workout, you can get the calories from any macro. At calyx health and fitness, we are trained in tailoring a custom nutrition a plan designed just for you. We can help you figure out exactly what your body needs before and after hitting the gym.
