Nutrition Hour with Jackson: Carbohydrates and Endurance Athletes

Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Trying out a new idea for a series on the podcast this week! Between school and just my nerdy interests, I read and synthesize a lot of scientific papers. So, if I find a paper that I find particularly interesting or of value and relevance to the podcast audience, I will dissect it on the show. One of the goals of this podcast is to create a more scientifically literate community so that we may wade through the murky and confusing waters of nutrition science. <br> <br> <br> <br> First up is a review published in the journal Science written by renowned sports scientist Louise Burke. The paper, titled Swifter, higher, stronger: What's on the menu? is a deep dive into the latest research as it relates to fueling the endurance athlete. She and her co-author John Hawley discuss carbohydrates vs. fat as fuel, supplements, relative energy deficiency in sport, and more. So I talk about it. Let me know what you think!<br> <br> <br> <br> -Jackson<br> <br> <br> <br> Link to the paper discussed: <a href="http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6416/781">http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6416/781</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Subscribe to our newsletter: <a href="http://tfflifestyle.com/newsletter">http://tfflifestyle.com/newsletter</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Support the show on Patreon: <a href="http://patreon.com/thoughtforfood">http://patreon.com/thoughtforfood</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Subscribe:<br> <br> <br> <br> Apple Podcasts: <a href="http://bit.ly/TFFitunes">http://bit.ly/TFFitunes</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Spotify: <a href="http://bit.ly/thoughtforfood">http://bit.ly/thoughtforfood</a><br> <br> <br> <br> YouTube: <a href="http://bit.ly/tfftv">http://bit.ly/tfftv</a><br>
