Fueling on the Move

Aim for roughly three parts carbs, two parts protein, and one part fat or fiber when you need steady energy. This simple ratio buffers blood sugar swings, supports muscles, and still feels light enough for an afternoon run or climb.

Fueling on the Move

Choose mostly moderate glycemic carbs—like oats, berries, or whole grains—and pair them with protein. You get quick access to energy without the crash, so your last hill repeat feels as strong as your first.

Fueling on the Move

Roasted chickpeas, individual nut butter packets, whole fruit, and homemade trail mix ride happily in a pocket or bag. They resist heat, taste great under pressure, and deliver dependable macros when schedules change mid-day.

Greek Yogurt with Tart Cherries

Creamy yogurt supplies protein, while tart cherries bring bright flavor and natural compounds athletes love. Stir in a spoon of oats for texture and longer-lasting energy, then tell us if you prefer vanilla or plain.

Edamame with Sea Salt and Citrus Zest

Pop a cup of edamame, add a pinch of flaky salt, and finish with lemon zest. It’s plant protein you can throw in a jar, shake, and eat between meetings without feeling weighed down.

Mini Tuna and Avocado Boats

Spoon tuna into halved mini bell peppers, then top with avocado. The crunch, healthy fats, and clean protein deliver a crisp bite that feels like a win after strength training or a quick lunchtime ride.

Hydration-Forward Snacks

Skewer watermelon cubes, squeeze lime, and sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt. It tastes like summer energy, supports fluid balance, and disappears so fast you’ll wish you made a second plate.

Hydration-Forward Snacks

Thinly slice cucumber, spread hummus, and roll tight with a dusting of paprika. The crunch hydrates, chickpeas fuel, and the spice wakes up your taste buds after a sweaty interval set.

Pre-Workout vs Post-Workout Snack Timing

Choose a carb-forward snack with some protein and gentle fats—like oatmeal with banana and seeds. You’ll settle comfortably, avoid mid-workout hunger, and head out feeling calm, primed, and focused.

Pre-Workout vs Post-Workout Snack Timing

Keep it simple and easily digestible: a small banana, a few dates, or applesauce. Fast carbs mean you can start strong without stomach drama, perfect for sprints, hills, or a lunchtime sweat.
