Nutritional Considerations for Athletes Training in the Evening

For athletes who train in the evening and prefer not to eat before a workout, it's important to find a suitable approach that works best for their body. While guidelines suggest avoiding eating close to bedtime, it's crucial to prioritize individual comfort and preference. If training on an empty stomach feels better for the individual, they can opt to eat after their workout or find a light pre-workout option that doesn't cause discomfort.
