The first episode of the Guru Performance 'We Do Science' podcast! In this episode I (Laurent Bannock) discuss a number of important current topics in sports and exercise nutrition with top UK sports nutrition researchers and practitioners: Graeme Close PhD and James Morton PhD. In this session we get into:

• Should athletes avoid carbohydrates?
• What is fasted-state training? Can it improve body composition and performance
• Is there a post-exercise anabolic ‘window of opportunity’?
• How important are sports supplements to performance?
• Is a calorie a calorie? Is it important to consider the quantity and not the quality of calories when it comes to health and performance?
• What is the best piece of advice you can give someone looking to become a performance nutritionist?
