What Athletes Are Saying (Individual results may vary)
Real feedback from those who've transformed their performance
The recovery guides completely transformed my post-training routine. I feel my post-training routine has improved, and my performance feels better since implementing these strategies. The science behind it all makes complete sense.
James Patterson

Common Questions About Athletic Nutrition
Evidence-based answers to help optimise your performance
How much protein do I actually need?
Current research suggests 1.6–2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily for most strength athletes, depending on training intensity and goals. Endurance athletes typically require 1.2–1.4g/kg. Distribution throughout the day is more important than hitting an exact total—aim for consistent 25–40g servings with each major meal and after training.
When should I eat relative to training?
Pre-training nutrition (1–3 hours before) should include carbohydrates and moderate protein to fuel performance. Post-training (within 30–60 minutes) is crucial for recovery—combine protein and carbohydrates to stimulate muscle adaptation. Timing becomes more important during intense training phases or when training multiple times daily.
What supplements are actually worth considering?
Evidence-supported options include creatine monohydrate for strength, beta-alanine for high-intensity efforts, and vitamin D if deficient. Natural supplements supporting energy metabolism, mineral balance, and recovery may complement proper whole-food nutrition. Always prioritise dietary excellence first—supplements enhance, not replace, sound nutrition.
How do I optimise hydration for my sport?
Hydration needs vary by sport, climate, and individual sweat rate. General guidance: drink 400–800ml fluid per hour during exercise lasting 1–3 hours. For longer efforts, include electrolytes (sodium, potassium) and carbohydrates. Monitor urine colour and body weight changes—losing more than 2% body weight indicates inadequate hydration during training.
Can nutrition affect my recovery quality?
Absolutely. Adequate protein supports muscle repair, carbohydrates restore glycogen, and micronutrients (zinc, magnesium, vitamins C and D) reduce inflammation and support immune function. Sleep quality also depends on proper nutrition—avoid large meals 2–3 hours before bed, but ensure stable blood sugar with balanced evening nutrition.
How do I prevent energy crashes during training?
Stable energy requires balanced meals combining protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Pre-training meals should be easier to digest (within 1–3 hours), while throughout the day emphasise whole-food options. During extended training, consume carbohydrates strategically—6–8g per minute for efforts under 2.5 hours, up to 90g per hour for longer efforts.
