Don’t Cut Corners on Carbs

By: Christopher D. Jensen, PhD, MPH, RD

Don't cut corners on carbs. In order to train hard, you need to replenish the carbs you burn on a daily basis. If you cut carbs, your workouts will suffer. Eat a carb-rich snack and/or drink a carb-containing beverage right after workouts, and again an hour or two later to help jumpstart recovery after workouts.
