Sports nutrition optimizes food and fluid intake to support athletic performance, recovery, and body composition goals.

Pre-workout nutrition:

  • Goal: Fuel performance, prevent fatigue, protect muscle
  • 1–3 hours before: Carb-rich meal with moderate protein, low fat/fiber
  • Example: Rice + chicken + vegetables

During exercise (>60 min):

  • Carbohydrates: 30–60g/hour (up to 90g/hour for very long events)
  • Hydration: 400–800ml/hour depending on sweat rate
  • Electrolytes (sodium) critical for events >2 hours

Post-workout recovery:

  • Protein: 20–40g within 2 hours
  • Carbohydrates: Replenish glycogen (1–1.2g/kg in first 4 hours)
  • Hydration: Drink 1.5L for every kg of body weight lost

Key insight: Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for high-intensity exercise. Keto athletes sacrifice performance at high intensities.
