Question

Why do athletes often eat lots of carbohydrates the day before a competition?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking the question.
As we know that glucose molecules are stored in our muscles and liver to be used as a fuel specially during physical activity. Carbohydrates provides the body with the energy that helps the brain in proper functioning. They also repair and rebuild the muscle tissues which maximizes muscle gain. This greatly helps athletes, therefore, they eat alot of carbohydrates the day before the competition.
Hope I helped.
