Food is a fuel. Proper Protein, Proper Carb intake is required for optimum performance. If you eat junk, expect to perform horrible. Would you put low grade fuel in a sports car? not regularly service it with premium oil and fluids? No. You would regularly maintain it with the highest grade product available. Well the same goes for you body. Eat every 2.5 to 3 hours you are awake. Lean Protein source, Complex Carb source. Drink plenty of water, you will retain less water then. Your body will recover faster as well. Hope you have a great day! Its the same for any sport. Food is a fuel. Proper Protein, Proper Carb intake is required for optimum performance.

Plus, people are different in some ways, but, for the most part, the place you mention how to actually eat in order to be able to recover more fully is right on - believe me, I've learned the hard way! eating for endurance athletes is a science in itself!
