I didn't know that when I started...
Before I specialized in sports nutrition, I didn’t know that the composition of meals should vary depending on whether someone is doing light, moderate, or intense training.
I thought the only changes should be within the “sports window”, that is, the window that includes pre-workout, intra-workout, and post-workout meals.
But it turns out that the composition of your main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) changes depending on the intensity and volume of your training.
Some people increase the volume and intensity of their workouts and feel their bodies craving more food or more energy-rich foods (a.k.a. carbs), while others don’t feel that way.
When I was training for a half-marathon, I completely changed the composition of my main meals, and it was essential for me. After the race, I gradually went back to what I used to eat.
👇 Below are illustrations of what your plate should look like depending on the intensity of your workout.
Tell me, when you’re training more intensely and with higher volume, do you change the composition of your main meals?
