What are some go-to foods/strategies for athletes with high carb intake requirements?
On a high carb intake, even white rice can make one feel overly full. Augmenting with low volume, higher sugar carbs seems like the answer, but that doesn’t seem optimal for health.
Thank you.
Depending on your goals and training, but I have 60g of sugar preworkout to assist with 30g of protein. Health wise isn’t an issue if you’re intake timing is around training sessions, your body prefers glucose to help recover its glycogen.
Smoothies, fruit, dried fruit, dates, whole grain flour like oat flour, whole wheat flour, spelt flour, brown rice flour, whole grain or sourdough bread, whole grain or legume pasta, fruit or vegetable juice, healthy desserts made with whole grain flour, natural sweeteners, etc
