How to use it

Every meal: protein, carbohydrate and colour. Within an hour after training: carbs plus protein (skyr with fruit and oats, a cheese sandwich and milk). Calcium daily, a vitamin D plan in winter, water every session. No calorie cutting during growth, and no performance supplements under 18.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.
