Ask An Expert: Maria, I Need A Nutritional Boost For My Workout! Please Help!
Q: I love to bike ride a few times a week. I’m only at about 10k a night though. Do you have any recommendations on how I can give myself the nutritional boost I would need to increase my workout? ~ Kayla
A: Hi Kayla!
As your workout increases, your nutritional needs increase as well, specifically for protein, carbohydrates, fluids and overall calories.
The Sports Dietitians of Australia have a fantastic sheet on "Nutrition & Cycling", highlighting how to keep you hydrated and energized and help boost performance.
