Nutrition

Fueling adaptation. Energy balance, macronutrients, and timing.

Training is the stimulus; nutrition is the raw material the body uses to adapt to it. You can't out-train an energy or protein deficit, and you can't recover from work you don't fuel. This section covers the inputs that turn training stress into progress.

What this section covers

  • Energy balance: surplus, maintenance, and deficit, and what each is for.
  • Macronutrients: protein, carbohydrate, and fat, and how much you need.
  • Nutrient timing and hydration around training.
