Finding the Right Macronutrient Ratios for Endurance Athletes
This chapter of the podcast discusses the ideal macronutrient ratios for endurance athletes and how they vary based on training volume and goals. The speaker explains that the commonly recommended 40, 30, 30 ratio of macronutrients is not sufficient for endurance athletes, and suggests a more balanced ratio of around 50-60% carbohydrates, 25% protein, and the remaining percentage for fats. They also discuss the importance of adjusting protein and carbohydrate intake based on training volume and goals, and provide guidance on reducing fat intake by being selective with foods such as peanut butter, nuts, oils, and avocados.
