Macro partitioning
Balanced macronutrient intake (1.6-2.2g protein/kg, 4-6g carbs/kg) results in significantly greater strength gains (12.5%) and faster recovery (24 hours) compared to protein or carbohydrate deficits.
Eat a balanced diet with 1.6-2.2g of protein per kg of body weight and 4-6g of carbohydrates per kg. This supports maximum strength gains and faster recovery (24 hours) compared to restricting either nutrient.
