When you train without fuel, your body doesn’t magically become “fat-adapted”, it often becomes stress-adapted. That means higher cortisol, unstable blood sugar, poorer performance and (over time) slower recovery. As a nutritionist, this is what I see most often ⬇️ • People training under-fuelled • Relying on caffeine instead of carbs • Choosing protein products that ‘look’ healthy but destroy digestion And then wondering why they feel bloated, wired, flat, or exhausted after training. Here’s the part most people don’t realise 👇 Protein itself isn’t the problem, the ingredients around it are. Many conventional protein powders and bars contain: • Sugar alcohols (like sorbitol, maltitol, erythritol) • Artificial sweeteners • Gums, fillers & preservatives These are common triggers for bloating, gas, cramping and gut irritation, especially pre-workout when digestion is already more sensitive. This is why I recommend Chief Collagen Protein & Bars. They’re different because they: • Actually taste good unlike other protein bars and powders • Contain no sugar alcohols • No artificial sweeteners • No fillers, gums or preservatives • Use simple, real food ingredients • Are naturally easy to digest Collagen protein is also gentler on the gut than many whey or plant blends, making it ideal before training, not just after. In my opinion, pre-workout fuel should: ✔️ Support blood sugar ✔️ Support performance ✔️ Support your gut ✔️ Leave you energised, not bloated Remember, food is information. And your body always responds to the quality of that signal. SAVE this for your training days 🤍
