Legume Portion Training Day
Legume portion on a training day scales with workout load and gut tolerance—larger servings post-session, smaller pre high-intensity work.
Legume portion on a training day scales with session load—half to one cup cooked beans or lentils at lunch on hard days, smaller portions pre-interval if gut sensitivity is high. Protein from legumes stacks with dairy, eggs, or fish rather than replacing all animal protein unless planned.
Fiber fuels glycogen sparing but can crowd pre-workout windows.
Common questions
-
Should you eat beans before a hard workout?
If gas or urgency is an issue, shift legumes to post-workout or dinner; tolerant athletes can keep smaller lunch portions with adequate timing—three hours or more before intervals.
