Macronutrients for Performance: Carbs, Protein, Fats—What to Prioritise by Sport
Carbohydrate, protein and fat serve different jobs. Carbohydrate supports demanding work, protein supports tissue repair, and dietary fat contributes energy and essential nutrients. Removing an entire macronutrient rarely solves a poorly organised training week.
A practical starting point
Build a meal around a protein food, a carbohydrate portion suited to the upcoming session, produce and a source of fat. Compare two training days with similar workloads before changing portions.
What the evidence does not promise
A sprint athlete, endurance athlete and recreational lifter do not need an identical ratio. Treat a sample plate as a starting structure, and have a sports dietitian individualise requirements for your sport.
How to make it useful for your training
Bring a short record of your sessions, food routine and the specific problem you want to solve. Anthony can help organise the training plan and general habits; a sports dietitian or clinician should manage individual supplement protocols and medical concerns.
