Document Summary
Talked about gatorade funded study that proved gatorade was more effective but had participants fasted and then gave them cho in the form of gatorade. Should an elite athlete eat before a morning workout: glycogen depletion -> carb loading, phosphocreatine -> creatine loading, muscle acidosis -> buffering supplements. Marathon running not triathlon because you can eat while you bike during the triathlon. Over twice as the amount an untrained individual females less so. Body adapts to working out with low glycogen. Occasionally: low fat, low fibre, moderate protein, high carb, 3-4 hours before. 140g if athlete cant then they should employ other techniques (grazing, fluid and food separately and maximize nutrition the day before) Not if he doesn"t plan on pushing himself. How much protein should you eat post workout to maximize. Yes, but drop back to baseline after 2 hours. 20g or 0. 25-0. 4g/kg/meal or 20g/3hours every 3 hours.
