4. Eat more protein.
When you’re working out, protein is your best friend. Make sure to eat more protein than carbohydrates. Why? Protein has your body working for a longer period of time. While carbs are the first to be digested (break down starts in your mouth with saliva), protein are the second while fats are last. Protein also helps your muscles repair, especially if you’re working with weights and helps to rebuild them making them larger and firmer.
