This food and your training
This food is rich in carbohydrates (84 g per 100 g), mostly complex: a more gradual energy that refills muscle glycogen and helps you last through a session.
Rich in carbs, it fits well just before or just after a session, when the body burns then rebuilds glycogen, its main energy store during effort.
Fairly calorie-dense (378 kcal per 100 g), it suits a bulk well but should be measured once you watch your weight or you are cutting.
In practice: a 40 g portion provides about 34 g of carbs and 151 kcal. Adjust the amount with the calculator above based on your expenditure and the time of day.
