Competition / workout nutrition can give athletes a real competitive advantage
when it comes to recovery from workouts and overall performance during competition.
Before:
Here you need a balanced meal containing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats – about 1-2
hours before training/competition. This should be a “small” meal to what you normally would eat. We need to maintain blood sugar levels, increase energy and foods that is easy on the stomach.
During:
We recommend a sport drink containing 30+ grams of carbohydrate per hour of training / competition. HR+ from SCF-Nutrition https://scfnutrition.com/ is ideal with all the necessary energy fuel.
After:
Post competition / workout nutrition requires two things: protein to aid in protein synthesis, carbohydrate to replace muscle glycogen. Whole food meals aren’t always available to athletes directly after competition. This is why SCF-Nutrition Recoup recovery formula https://scfnutrition.com/ is very popular and easy to fit the gap. Should the athlete have access to whole foods your typical spaghetti and meatballs will do.
