Additional fuel/recovery example Pre-training

 

If you have not eaten recently and you need a boost, grab a carbohydrate-based snack e.g. a banana, a slice of toast or a small energy bar

During training >1 hour at high intensity

 

Maintain your fuel availability with easily-digestible carbohydrate sources e.g. a sports beverage or energy bar, taken in small amounts every 15-20 minutes

Recovery snack

 

If you don’t have a meal ready within an hour after you finish training, add a simple protein and carbohydrate snack e.g. a whey protein shake or a glass of milk with some plain whey stirred in and a banana

Cross training e.g. weights Does not necessarily require extra fuel or snacks, but a recovery snack might be helpful if your meals are not planned around your session.
