Abundant clinical evidence highlights the benefits of carbohydrates for training adaptation, performance, and recovery, yet many athletes continue to avoid carbohydrates. In addition to the importance of carbohydrates for athletic performance, they also play many important roles in our bodies.

We created a fact sheet to help our clients understand the importance of carbohydrates, nutrient timing and suggested daily intakes based on activity duration & intensity. But because each athlete is an individual, and her carbohydrate preferences, tolerances and intake needs may be different, carbohydrate needs should be evaluated in the context of an overall nutrition assessment and fueling plan.

Nutrify can help dial in your carbohydrate intake with a comprehensive nutrition assessment. Schedule a complimentary 15’ call to learn more.
