This food and your training
This food is above all a carbohydrate source: 71 g per 100 g, the fuel that refills muscle glycogen — the energy store you draw on every session. Enough carbs support training performance and recovery.
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.
Its 10 g of protein per 100 g make a useful secondary contribution: decent, but to be topped up with richer sources (meat, fish, eggs, dairy) to cover your needs.
In practice: a 40 g portion provides about 28 g of carbs and 136 kcal. Adjust the amount with the calculator above based on your expenditure and the time of day.
