Abstract: 

Athletes are often confused by recommendations about nutrition and hydration. Is fat a better fuel than carbohydrate? What’s the best meal timing? How much protein should I eat? Athletes are eager for nutrition information to fuel their success, yet myths and misperceptions abound. While broad recommendations exist, it’s a challenge to create and implement nutrition and hydration plans that reflect the latest science. This session will provide an overview of such recommendations, along with practical advice for optimal nutrition before, during, and after exercise.
