Why World Champions Get Carb Loading Wrong

from Fuelin Sessions · host Fuelin

In this episode of Fuelin Sessions, Scott is joined by Fuelin dietitian and triathlete Megan Foley. They discuss a new study of female athletes at the 2024 Nice Ironman World Championships that found most fell short of their carb-loading targets, why the gap on race day is rarely about knowledge and almost always about execution, how "eating clean" and too much fiber can sabotage a race, the finding that athletes who fueled more finished faster, the mindset shift from training to eat to eating to train, and the lack of female representation in sports-nutrition research.Study⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fuelin on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check Out The Fuelin App⁠⁠
