 		Save Tip

However, weight lifters have made serious sports nutrition error in the past by mistakenly increasing their protein intake when, in fact, they should have increased their consumption of complex carbs.

OzzieOcean “ Great tip, so many people have misconceptions about what to eat for what activity. I recommend people look into the sports nutrition course offered as at home study by ISSA. ”
