What is sports nutrition

Supplements: Food supplements such as Protein powder, , Creatine, electrolytes or Omega 3. They supplement your diet, they do not replace a real meal.

Fitness Food: Practical foods with an optimised nutrient balance, for example protein bars, instant oats or ready-to-drink shakes.

The basis first nutrition training sleep

80 15 5 Rule: Nutrition and sleep contribute 80 per cent, your training plan 15 per cent and supplements optimise the last 5 per cent. First fix the basics, then add specific supplements.

No miracle pills: Supplements reinforce good habits. They do not cover up gaps in calories, protein or hydration.

The Big Four with real added value

Protein powder Whey Casein Vegan

SenseCovers the daily requirement, supports muscle building and maintenance in diet and development.

Practice: 1.6 to 2.2 g protein per kg body weight per day. Shake after training or as a snack. Casein in the evening for longer satiety.

Practice: 3 to 5 g daily, loading phase not necessary. Suitable for martial arts, drink enough.

Electrolytes and carbohydrates

Post training

25 to 30 g whey plus 30 to 60 g carbs if you want to recover quickly. For pure technique rounds, a normal meal timing plan is often sufficient.
