The 30/30 System
The 30/30 plan is a system designed for all athletes to help them succeed. Developed by our team of exercise scientists and nutritionists, the 30/30 plan helps to fuel the body correctly and maximize the results from exercise.
Nutrient timing can be just as important as the actual food we consume. Fluid was designed with that philosophy in mind. At Fluid we like to explain nutrient timing in a series of windows around your training session. We explain it by the 30/30 system.
30 minutes before exercise
The body should be prepared to begin strenuous exercise with small amounts of readily available carbohydrate, and is best consumed as a liquid to ensure digestion, hydration, and prevent gastric upset. The solution should be between 4-8% carbohydrate with minimal sugar. This way as soon as a training session is starting, nutrients are readily available.
NOTE: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND FLUID RECOVERY DRINK BEFORE TRAINING. The high quality protein in Fluid may be difficult to digest before beginning an intense workout, but is perfect for consumption after completion.
Examples of preworkout nutrition include: 1 serving of your favorite sports drink, 1 energy gel, 1 serving of juice, 1 energy food bar, etc.
