Carb loading is exciting and scary! Because it’s a lot of bloody food 😂
Quick guide if you’re a bit confused 👇
3 day carb load (Thursday - Saturday)
Day 1 & 2: 5 - 8g x kg of body weight
Day 3: 8 - 10g x kg of body weight
2 day carb load (Friday - Saturday)
Day 1 & 2: 8-10g of kg of body weight
1 day carb loading (Saturday)
10 - 12g x kg of body weight
My biggest tip, is track your carbs. Write them down, put them in notes or an app. Don’t guess/free ball it. You won’t be able to keep track.
And fruit juices are the way to go.
