When it comes to fuelling our body for the sport & exercise we take part in, the food we eat can majorly impact not only our energy levels but also our strength, training, performance, decision making and recovery.
Nutrition for sport is not only about the type of food we eat but also when we eat in terms of aiding performance & recovery, the ratio of macronutrients (Carbohydrates, Proteins & Fats), as well as ensuring adequate hydration.
And it's no surprise that nutrition varies greatly depending on the sport & activities you are carrying out, just like your ideal nutrition will be very different to that of your best friend.
The proportion of Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats you need to be including in your meals pre & post exercise, as well as during (if necessary) but also maintaining electrolyte & hydration levels for optimum performance & recovery can be a minefield especially when these proportions can vary greatly even from day to day depending on the intensity & type of activity you are doing on the given day.
If you are someone who is interested in taking the nutrition aspect of your training and performance seriously, it could be very beneficial for you to work with a professional, qualified Sports Nutritionist, allowing you to focus on your sport & achieving your performance goals, letting them take away the hassle of trying to work out your optimum sports nutrition plan.
