Training Day Meal Prep Carb Bump
A training day meal prep carb bump pre-labels extra starch portions for hard sessions while rest-day containers keep standard carb sizes from the same batch.
A training day meal prep carb bump pre-portions extra cooked grains, potatoes, or fruit in containers tagged for hard sessions—intervals, long runs, or heavy lifts—while easy days keep standard starch portions from the same batch. Bump carbs around workouts, not at every desk lunch, so energy matches load without turning prep day into uncontrolled pasta volume.
Label containers "AM hard" or "PM long" so grab-and-go choices stay honest.
Common questions
-
Should rest-day prepped meals drop carbs to zero?
Usually no—keep moderate starch for focus and recovery. Shrink portions versus hard days rather than eliminating carbs unless a clinician plan requires it.
