Episode 82 - How do I manage hunger and fullness with my training?

Fueling Endurance - Nutrition for Runners, Cyclists & Triathletes

We’ve often talked about periodised nutrition on this podcast, adjusting the carbs you eat across the week based on your training schedule. But in the down periods, how do you achieve this without being ravenously hungry? And on the flipside, when you do need to load up for a big training session, sometimes it's hard to do this without feeling uncomfortably full and bloated.

In this episode we discuss some of the key strategies to managing hunger and satiety through the ups and downs of a periodised nutrition approach. How to get those carbs in when you don’t feel like eating more, and how to increase the feeling of fullness you get from lower carb, lower calorie meals. By applying these principles you can help to even out the hunger and fullness across the training cycle, even when the carbs and calories are going up and down with training.
