Meal times are often shoved aside when work and school commitments pop
up unexpectedly which leads to inadequate food or CHO (carb) intake and
is one of the main causes of overtraining. Much like your scheduled
workouts that are done at a particular and convenient time of the day
set your meals and snacks periods at intervals that are conducive to
your schedule. When planning build your meals and snacks according to
your caloric needs for the day, as well as the ratio of carbs, protein,
and fat. Without the proper amount of consumed fuel you may not be able
to perform your scheduled workout, game, or race.
