For years, carbs have been unfairly blamed for just about everything.
The reality is far less dramatic.
Carbohydrates are your body’s preferred source of energy, particularly during higher-intensity exercise like CrossFit, HYROX, running and strength training.
That doesn’t mean you need to eat mountains of pasta every day.
But it does mean that if you’re constantly feeling tired, struggling to recover, or finding your workouts harder than they should be, it’s worth looking at whether you’re eating enough to support your training.
Good nutrition isn’t about cutting out entire food groups.
It’s about giving your body what it needs to perform, recover and feel its best.
Don’t fear carbs.
Use them wisely.
