Athletes eat different types of food at different stages of training. They focus on two main sport nutrients, how much food the athlete is eating and how much quantity (the type of food group such as fat or protein. Nutrients are eaten at certain times , mostly before and after the workout, these help the muscle repair and recovery compared to the same nutrients consuming the during other times of the day . For example, studies shows that protein is better for muscle growth than when it is taken after the workout. And when you take out carbohydrate after the exercise, the carbohydrate is absorbed more quickly by your muscles than it would be at other times.
