This food and your training
This food is above all a carbohydrate source: 64 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.
Its carbohydrate dominance makes it a good choice around training: before, for energy; after, to rebuild muscle glycogen and kick-start recovery.
With 7 g of fibre per 100 g, it also boosts satiety — an asset for holding a calorie deficit without hunger, and a support for digestion.
In practice: a 40 g portion provides about 26 g of carbs and 180 kcal. Adjust the amount with the calculator above based on your expenditure and the time of day.
