Carbohydrates and Diet

SPORTS NUTRITION


Bodybuilders, weight lifters, and athletes are especially in need of energy. The human body has to be supplied continuously with energy to perform its many complex strenuous activities. When an athletes competition level increases, the body’s energy demands also increases. The proper food will be necessary to replenishes the energy levels. One energy system relies totally on carbohydrates while another uses carbohydrates and fats. When an athletes performance reaches its peak, carbo’s are the prime fuel the body can use. An individuals fitness level, intensity of the exercise and the amount of food and drink consumed prior to and during the exercise with depend on the amounts of fat and carbohydrates used for strength and endurance.

Bodybuilders, weight lifters and athletes need a diet rich in carbohydrates to increase endurance performance because a lack of carbos will increase fatigue and increase poor performance. 2.5-6 grams of carbohydrates are recommended for each pound of body weight. The longer the workout the higher the ratio should be and should be eaten 3 -4 hours before the event. Adding a protein supplement, similar to MetRx protein powder or ……………….can aid in regulating energy levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption, delivering the carbohydrates to the working muscles at a more consistent rate over time.

Good luck on your next few weeks of workouts, I am sure your energy will improve.
Also, eat good non processed carbohydrates, like brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat breads, brown cereals, fruits and nuts.
