THE G.I. FACTOR:HOW DOES AN ATHLETE CHOOSE A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE DIET?
Very active people need to eat much larger amounts of carbohydrate than usual.
You may feel that you already know a lot about diet. But athletes, like everyone else, can have their facts wrong. Many foods that you believe are good sources of carbohydrate are even better sources of fat. For example, chocolate is 55 per cent carbohydrate but also 30 per cent fat. And fat won't help you win the race.
Dietary advice aimed at the general public needs to be modified for the serious sports person. Athletes have far greater energy needs, perhaps double that of the average office worker. Many high carbohydrate and low fat foods which are recommended for the average person are too bulky and satiating for athletes. It is their bulk that makes it difficult to consume the required amount of food. For example, a 75 gram carbohydrate portion of white bread is only five slices. Other foods that you might have believed were not so good for you, like soft drinks, confectionery, honey, sugar, flavoured milk and ice cream are actually very concentrated sources of carbohydrate that can be used to supplement your diet.
