For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
The wrap provides a good hit of carbohydrates in this recipe which is useful to support your training on exercise days when our carbohydrate needs are higher. The high fat and fibre content of this recipe would make it more suited to post exercise, or a couple of hours before, leaving enough time to digest the meal before engaging in moderate-high intensity exercise. Fibre and fat are digested slower and so consuming close to exercise can lead to gut discomfort in moderate-high intensity exercise. Causes of GI issues in athletes
