Instructions: Select ONE option per meal (A = Indian, B = Global). This is an aggressive High-Carb/Low-Fat phase designed for intense sports periodization. Keep dietary fats strictly minimized to ensure rapid gastric emptying and immediate glycogen uptake into muscle tissue.
| Hydration: Consume 4–6 litres of fluid today. Every gram of glycogen stored requires ~3g of water. Electrolyte loading is mandatory.
| Fats: Strictly NO added oils, butter, or ghee. Fats severely delay carbohydrate absorption during critical refeed windows.
