Carb Periodisation: How to Fuel Hard Days Without Overeating Easy Days
Carbohydrate periodisation means matching fuel to training demand. It does not mean earning food through exercise or eliminating carbohydrates whenever you rest.
A practical starting point
Mark the sessions where intensity or duration matters most. Protect food before and after those sessions. On easier days, adjust the size of the starch portion while retaining regular meals and enough overall energy.
What the evidence does not promise
If performance, recovery or your relationship with food deteriorates, the plan needs review. Deliberate low-carbohydrate sessions are a specialist strategy rather than a default for busy recreational athletes.
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.
