Carbs get a bad rap, but here’s the truth: your body loves them—especially if you’re working out consistently. Carbohydrates are your body’s preferred source of energy and a key part of fueling performance, recovery, and overall health.
At Fit Haus, we believe in fueling with intention—and that means not fearing carbs. Here’s what you need to know.
Carbohydrates break down into glucose, which your body uses as energy. When you train, your muscles rely on stored carbs (glycogen) to power through lifts, cardio, and even recovery.
Carbs help:
Weight gain happens when you consistently eat more than your body needs—not because of carbs alone. The right carbs, in the right amounts, help you train harder and recover faster.
What matters most: the quality and timing of your carbs.
Pro Tip: Combine carbs with protein post-workout to refill energy stores and rebuild muscle.
Your body might be trying to tell you it needs more fuel—not less.
