Everybody is talking about the importance of eating protein but do not forget the eat enough carbs to lift properly.

Consuming carbohydrates before lifting provides the primary fuel (muscle glycogen) needed for high-intensity strength training. 
Adequate carbs improve strength, power, and training volume while delaying fatigue and maintaining focus. They help preserve muscle by reducing the use of protein for energy and support better muscle pumps and contraction quality. 
Carbs also help control cortisol levels, aiding recovery and muscle retention. 
Overall, pre-workout carbs enhance performance and support long-term strength and muscle gains.
