Daily Calories:
Instructions: Select ONE option per meal (A = Indian, B = Global). This protocol is engineered for multi-match days (e.g., wrestling, martial arts, crossfit, tennis tournaments). High carb, very low fat, and low fiber between bouts to rapidly clear the gut and sustain explosive energy.
| Hydration: Consume 5–7 litres of fluid. Isotonic drinks should be consumed continuously between matches to replace sodium lost through heavy perspiration.
| Fats: Strictly ZERO added fats during the active event window. Fat drastically slows digestion and causes lethargy when sympathetic nervous system activation is required.
