I waded through all fifty pages of HammerGel's nutrition paper. I now understand their claims with regard to
- If you're going to do endurance exercises you're going into nutritional defecit.
- There's a limit to how much nutrition input you can handle per unit time
- Maintaining electrolyte balance is important.
- Protein is useful for endurance food
- Complex carbs are better than simple carbs in that they are more easily assimilated
Somehow one must be able to do most of this using "real food" for the most part and maybe supplements where appropriate. Does there exist literature / recommendations for such an approach?
