Totally agree!! I think coaches and players have very poor nutritional knowledge. Erroneous timing of intake is one of the most common error in my opinion. Nice talk man!!

For anyone wondering it appears that around 1.6 gram protein Per kilo bodyweight is ideal for building muscle.

Do NBA players use creatine? Should ball players touch this stuff?

I was hoping for exact macro percentages... 😮‍💨

Fiber

Not sure if this is a good way of handling it, but if I feel sore I interpret that as a signal that I need more protein.

Why whey? I would definetly do plant based

In the morning is a scoop of peanut butter ok?

How much protein should an athlete have per day though?

Should basketball players take creatine
