This food and your training
This food is above all a carbohydrate source: 50 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.
Fairly calorie-dense (310 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 20 g of carbs and 124 kcal. Adjust the amount with the calculator above based on your expenditure and the time of day.
