Many athletes are simply not aware of just how significant an impact fuelling has on performance. One of our most memorable athlete food diary entries was a pro footballer consuming a grand total of just five strawberries prior to training! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🤦🏻♀️
When it comes to carbohydrates, these intakes need to be significant too. For reference, “medium carbohydrates” here for an evening refeed for an 80kg athlete equates to over 1,000 calories just from carbs, and “high carbohydrate” almost 2,500.
Training hard with no understanding of how the food you consume influences your performance is a sure way to inhibit your output, leaving you unable to maximise your athletic potential.
