🔥 HYBRID FUEL TIP OF THE WEEK 🔥
“Carb loading” is not a free pass to overeat.
I see this so often before races 👇
Athletes treating carb loading like a reason to eat everything in sight. But true carb loading is about strategy, not indulgence.
You’re topping up glycogen stores to perform at your best — not undoing weeks of training and mindful eating.
💡 Keep it simple:
✅ Stick to familiar carbs – rice, oats, potatoes, pasta
✅ Keep fats light
✅ Protein moderate
✅ Hydration on point
You should feel energised, not bloated.
Fuel with purpose — not permission. 💪
Each individual will have different needs depending on training volume, race distance, and goals.
