Ep. #14 - What to eat before training Inside Sports Nutrition

In this Inside Scoop episode, Bob and Dina continue their discussion of Nutrient Timing from Episode 12 by focusing on the “Before” window for The Fab Five (fluids, electrolytes, carbohydrates, protein and fat). We discuss the many factors you need to consider in order to better prepare for your training, workouts and practices.

We cover:

· The time frame in which to fuel before your training

· Amount of food to consume

· Tips for the higher hormone phase of the menstrual cycle

· How much fluid to drink and whether to incorporate electrolytes

· To carb or not and whether protein and fat need to be a piece of the pre-workout plan

· The “avenue of consumption”: does the form of the food matter?
