Are You Underfuelling?

Want to get more from your workouts? It’s time to flip your diet on its head.

Are You Underfuelling?

Do you struggle through your workouts or feel you’re not seeing results? If your usual day’s diet looks something like this – cereal or toast for breakfast, salad or soup for lunch, main meal for dinner – you could be underfuelling, says performance nutritionist James Collins. Like a car, your body needs fuel in the engine to perform at its best, but the typical working-day diet often just doesn’t provide the energy and nutrients your body needs to do the mileage.

‘I encourage the athletes I work with to fuel for the physical demands of their day,’ says Collins, author of new book The Energy Plan – Eat Smart, Feel Strong, Perform at Your Peak (Vermilion, £12.99). ‘This means increasing energy intake – in the form of lower-GI carbohydrates – earlier in the day for morning or afternoon training. Unless they’re competing in the evening, dinner is generally lower in fuel.’
