Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Try to eat every 3-4 hours. Most athletes eat only 2-4 times a day. By eating 3 meals and 2-3 snacks daily, you can gain lean tissue, maintain energy levels and recover at an optimal rate. You can’t afford to skip meals because you need to maintain your energy level.
Detailed explanation-2: -Good sources of carbs include fruits, vegetables, and grains. Choose whole grains (such as brown rice, oatmeal, whole-wheat bread) more often than processed options like white rice and white bread. Whole grains provide the energy athletes need and the fiber and other nutrients to keep them healthy.
