Grocery List Part 2: Carbs
GRAINS and NUTS
In my opinion, whether you are training heavy, participating in two a days, or an athlete of some sort, you need carbs to function. Carbohydrates help keep the body fueled and ready to perform. You need to keep a steady intake of carbohydrates throughout the day. Consuming more carbs could help increase energy stored in the muscle. The carbs will help produce a protein sparring effect, which mean the protein you consume will not be used for energy, it will be used for growth and repair! I have provided you a list of carbohydrates to add to your grocery list. Chose a few and see what works best for you.
