You can't talk about any type of nutrition without talking about the big three macro-nutrients: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. A lot of focus has been on the carbohydrates. Nearly every athlete can tell you that they need carbs; lot of carbs, but how much is enough? What Type is the best? When should I eat them? The same questions could be asked about proteins and fats as well.
Over the next weeks I will begin to answer these questions. Since protein by definition means of the first order, I will begin with Proteins. Until then, remember, "We must train to eat, so that we may eat to train."
