Carbohydrates are the main source of energy needed by the body during heavy physical exertion. Fats are the second most important source of energy. During physical activity, more proteins, carbohydrates and fats are required than in their absence.
With high physical exertion, it is desirable to use 5-6 meals a day. Such nutrition is more physiological. The first breakfast is 5%, the second breakfast is 30%, additional meals after training are 5%, lunch is 30%, afternoon tea is 5%, dinner is 25% of the daily calorie content. The volume of food should not be too large: for 70 kg of body weight from 3 to 3.5 kg of food per day. Fruits and vegetables should make up 10-15% of the diet.
If you've done a good physical job but haven't eaten for 5 hours, your blood glucose levels drop so much that exercise becomes excessive. If there are no obvious painful sensations, it still negatively affects endurance and the ability to concentrate in the process of exercising. Try to eat within two hours of finishing class. If exercise suppresses your appetite, grab a high-carb snack as soon as possible. Here are a few dishes that are perfect for this: oatmeal cookies, fruitcake, pasta with vegetables, fish or chicken, baked potatoes with low-fat seasoning, boiled rice and sweet corn salad, fruit salad with oatmeal, vegetable stew.
Carbohydrates are digested at different rates, so blood sugar levels can rise slowly or quickly.
