  • Carbohydrates
    An athlete may be able to store as many as 4000 calories as carbohydrates due to training adaptations, but this is still limited compared to the 10,000-30,000 calories stored as fat. In any case, glycogen is limited and, if carbohydrates are not supplied regularly, stores become rapidly depleted.
  • Good Reading for Good Eating
    Early in 1990, FDA began publishing proposals for new food labeling regulations that would, among other things, mandate nutrition labeling for almost all processed foods, limit health claims, establish reference Daily Values for certain nutrients, and define serving sizes. 1973 FDA issues regulations requiring nutrition labeling on food containing one or more added nutrients or whose label...
