Diet & Workout Synergy Optimizer Tool

Optimize how your diet synergizes with workouts based on timing, macros, and goal to fuel performance and recovery.

‍

Maximizes energy/recovery.

‍

We ask for workout type, diet type, goal, meal timing, calorie intake level, supplements, and workout time of day because these optimize timing (e.g., carbs pre-HIIT). These inputs enhance synergy. Limitation: the tool provides general timing and may not suit individual digestion; adjust based on personal response.

Macro Timing and Meal Recommendations for Cardio/Endurance

Fuel Utilization

During endurance activities, the body primarily utilizes carbohydrates as the main fuel source. As exercise intensity increases, the reliance on carbohydrates grows. However, fats become a significant fuel source during lower-intensity, longer-duration activities. Proper macro timing ensures that the body has the necessary fuel available when it's needed most.

Recommended Macro Timing

1. Pre-Workout (1-3 hours before)
   • Focus: Carbohydrates and a moderate amount of protein
   • Goal: Provide energy and enhance performance
   • Example Meal:
     • Oatmeal with banana and a scoop of protein powder
     • Whole grain toast with almond butter and sliced apple
2. Post-Workout (within 30 minutes)
   • Focus: Carbohydrates and protein
   • Goal: Replenish glycogen stores and support muscle recovery
   • Example Meal:
     • Greek yogurt with mixed berries and honey
     • Protein shake with a banana and a handful of oats
3. Throughout the Day
   • Focus: Balanced meals with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats
   • Goal: Maintain energy levels and support overall performance
   • Example Meals:
     • Quinoa salad with chickpeas, spinach, and olive oil
     • Brown rice with grilled chicken and steamed vegetables

Optimizations

1. Optimize Carbohydrate Sources
   • Choose low-glycemic index carbs for sustained energy (e.g., sweet potatoes, oats, legumes).
2. Enhance Hydration
   • Incorporate electrolytes in your hydration strategy, especially during longer workouts, to maintain optimal performance.
