Macronutrient Timing Strategies
An athlete's diet should be balanced in its macronutrient distribution to meet the essential vitamins and minerals as well as minimize illness, injury, and disease. The macronutrients should also be distributed to support the energy demands of training. The goal of this chapter is to explain how the macronutrients can be utilized under the concept of nutrient timing to achieve an athlete's goals for performance nutrition. This primarily centers around what an athlete should eat before, during, and after training as well as in between training sessions. In addition, this chapter demonstrates how proper timing of the macronutrients can build an athlete's energy systems, thus improving the physical capacity to do work.
