Nutrition Challenge Day 3 – The Best Carbs for Getting Leaner and Stronger from eattoperform.com. Here are the takeaways:

  • For a time, carbohydrates have been demonized, but they’re a great source of energy and an integral part of any nutrition plan that’s aimed at keeping performance at peak (or improving it).
  • Fruits are not necessarily the best choice as an energy source – it’s just not dense enough.
  • Still, fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals and are absolutely a part of a great nutrition plan.
  • Starches are your best friend.  Rice, potatoes, ripe bananas and oats are additions you might consider.  Make sure that you eat plenty of these in the evening to replenish muscle glycogen.
  • Liquid nutrition in the form of pureed foods and supplements like maltodextrin powder can be consumed before, during, and after training; this can help you maintain performance during long training sessions or events.

If you haven’t received an invited to the MFP group, email bethany@mvmntgym.com with your MFP username & email address and she’ll get you set up.

Please don’t make it awkward by asking for special treatment because you think stroking your ego is more important than following the progressive strength prescriptions of your humble Director of Programming.
