Training Day Carb Priority
Training day carb priority places more carbohydrates on hard session days and fewer on rest days while weekly calories stay on plan.
Training day carb priority shifts a larger share of daily carbohydrates to hard lift, interval, or long run days so glycogen supports performance and peri-workout recovery. Rest days keep protein high while starches and sugars taper.
Weekly calorie average can stay on target while day-to-day intake swings. Pair with hydration and sodium on sweat-heavy sessions.
Common questions
-
Should rest days be zero carb?
No—vegetables and modest starch still support recovery and fiber. Priority means relative reduction, not elimination, unless medically supervised.
