Fuel Your Results with Simple Plan 🚀

You’ve got your first Simple Plan meals — fresh, balanced, and ready when you are. Now it’s time to make sure you’re getting the most out of every bite. Small tweaks to how you pair meals, fuel workouts, and recover can make a huge difference in your results.

Here are four proven strategies to get the most from your meals:

1. Time Your Meals Right ⏱️

Your body performs best when it’s fueled at the right times.

After workouts: Aim for a high-protein meal within 60–90 minutes to maximize recovery and muscle growth.
Busy days: Spread your meals evenly across the day to avoid crashes and keep energy steady.

👉 Pro Tip: If you’re training hard, pair your post-workout meal with a fast-digesting protein like our hCODE™ Whey Protein Isolate. It helps muscles absorb nutrients faster, so your recovery starts immediately.

2. Stay Hydrated 💧

Hydration is key for energy, performance, and digestion.

Drink at least half your bodyweight (lbs) in ounces of water per day.
Add electrolytes if you’re sweating heavily or training in the heat.

👉 Pro Tip: Our hCODE™ Electrolytes + EAAs help replace what your body loses during workouts while supporting hydration and muscle repair.

3. Balance for Recovery & Energy ⚡

Your Simple Plan meals are already balanced with protein, carbs, and fats — but you can adjust based on your goals.

Want more energy? Add an extra carb source like fruit or oats alongside your meal.
Want faster recovery? Add a collagen boost to support joints and muscles.

👉 Pro Tip: Try hCODE™ Collagen Protein in your coffee, smoothie, or even stirred into oatmeal.

4. Support Your Performance with Smart Fuel 🏋️‍♂️

When you need a boost, the right pre-workout fuel makes a big difference.

Take pre-workout 20–30 minutes before exercise for energy, focus, and stamina.
Stick with clean, tested products for consistent performance.

👉 Pro Tip: hCODE™ Pre-Workout gives you smooth energy without the crash, so you can make the most of your training.

The Bottom Line 💡

Your Simple Plan meals give you a strong foundation — high-protein, balanced, and fresh every week. Pairing them with smart habits (and the right supplements) can take your results to the next level.
