ALYour athlete says they’re full… but are they really? 🧐
Your stomach can feel full from solid food (think sandwiches, pasta, cereal) because of stretch receptors in the stomach lining.
But that “full” feeling doesn’t always mean their energy needs are met. Especially on big training days.
This is where liquid fuel is a game-changer
Smoothies, milk, juice and flavoured milk can slip into those gaps between solid food without overloading the gut.🥤🧃🥛🍫
When appetite is low, chewing feels like hard work, or energy demands are sky-high, liquid carbs help bridge the gap and keep performance on track.
👇 This is exactly what we teach inside Fuel School, where teen athletes are learning to fuel like the pros from the ground up, building smart habits early and bulletproofing their performance.
