Missed this, thanks for the response. Do you eat any grains? And what do you do for protein?
You're welcome. I eat pasta but I seldom eat other grains. Not much protein but there is a study that says matching 1 gram of protein for every 4 grams of carbs increases and speeds recovery. I did it a few time and it does seem to work. But even the little protein that I usually consume, as long as my sugar/carb intake is high, my recovery and energy levels are still great. I used to drink pea protein powder shakes with lots of refined sugar and chocolate syrup, and one serving is still less than 10 grams of fat but around 25 grams of protein. I still have a whole container of it. I need to drink it up so it doesn't go to waste. Protein is generally overrated. Minimum is necessary, yes, but overrated in terms of performance. Too much protein hurts your liver/kidney.
