Good Summary Nutrition Reference

Posted on Mar 10, 2011 under nutrition | 1 Comment

Great summary article on performance nutrition for endurance athletes.

http://www.trifuel.com/training/health-nutrition/10-simple-nutrition-tips-for-triathletes

The article recommends 3:1 carb to protein, I’ve seen more references citing 4:1.. I’m sure either is acceptable. Try both and see what works better for you. In either case stay away from fat and fiber as both slow down uptake.

    Good post! I've always seen 60% carbs & 15% protein for endurance athletes. Thanks for posting!
