Carbohydrates are your primary energy source for intense workouts and crucial for recovery.They replenish muscle glycogen stores, which are depleted during exercise. Insufficient carb intake can lead to fatigue, poor performance, and even muscle breakdown. Aim for complex carbs (oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes) for sustained energy, and simpler carbs (fruits, white rice) around workouts for quick fuel and recovery.
