Protein provides structure and energy through amino acids, including essential ones that must be eaten daily. Athletes need lean animal or plant proteins to build muscle and repair tissue.
Athletes need more protein for muscle repair, pulsing 20–30 g per meal and 10–20 g per snack, with 10–20 g post‑workout to initiate recovery.
Learn how dietary fats fuel energy, build cell structure, and transport vitamins A, D, E, and K; identify animal and plant sources and their role in long-duration, low-intensity exercise.
Explore how dietary fats influence athletic performance, including energy roles, digestion timing, and portion guidance, and learn how to time fat intake around workouts for optimal fueling.
Create a performance plate by balancing proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fruits and vegetables, and hydration to match activity level and sport goals for every training day.
