Episode notes
Fuel Like a Footballer
- Eat like NRL football players to fuel your BJJ performance with a balanced mix of carbs, protein, and fat.
- Avoid cutting carbs as they are the main fuel source for activity lasting over 20-30 minutes and brain function during training.
Brain Needs Glucose to Learn
- Your brain relies exclusively on blood glucose for learning during jujitsu.
- Keto or fasting states limit brain glucose, making learning much harder during training.
Don't Train Fasted
- Avoid fasted training because it lowers exercise intensity by restricting liver glycogen release.
- Eat a small snack beforehand to boost performance and enable your liver to fuel muscles effectively.
