Why Charlotte is good for gym mode food
Chicken rice bowls are the gold standard lean protein, fast carbs, easy to portion. Steak bowls add iron. Salmon adds omega-3s. Protein wraps work when you're eating in the car. Egg sandwiches are an underrated post-lift breakfast. Whatever you pick, get it in within 90 minutes of your last set, drink water with it, and you'll feel the difference tomorrow morning.
