Daily Calories:
Instructions: Select ONE option per meal. This specific endurance microcycle is optimized for extreme heat adaptation and ultra-fast gastric emptying. By prioritizing easily assimilated, high-water-content carbohydrates and cooling micronutrients, the core temperature remains stable while maximizing plasma volume and glycogen delivery.
| Hydration: Consume 5–8 litres of fluid daily. During heat acclimation, sweat rate and sodium loss increase exponentially. Pre-load with sodium and potassium-rich liquids.
| Fats: Fats are deliberately kept low during active windows to prevent gastrointestinal distress and ensure that blood flow is directed to the skin for cooling, not the gut for digestion.
