Episode notes
Flexible Carb Targets
- Use the carb traffic-light targets as flexible guides rather than exact rules.
- Aim ~30g (red), ~50g (yellow), ~100g (green) per meal but accept small variances.
Calories Are King
- Total daily calories drive recovery and performance more than any single macronutrient.
- Break calories into protein, fat and carbs but remember 'calories are king.'
Consistent Protein And Fat
- Keep protein and fat consistent across days and vary carbs by training load.
- Maintain protein routine to hit daily targets while adjusting carbs around sessions.
