Intra-Workout Nutrition: What Matters Once Training Begins<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

\u200bOur second article in this series\u200b<\/a> looks at fueling during training sessions, the factors that influence it, and how to fuel if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the simplest terms, pre-workout nutrition describes your starting point and what you bring into the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How recently have you eaten? What did you eat? How much? Intra-workout nutrition looks at how well that fuel sustains your session. Do you have nutrition available for the duration of your session? And if you add fuel mid-session, what\u2019s ideal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Success Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
How RJ Balanced Medical School, Training, and Recovery<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

RJ Norton knows what it means to set goals and keep pushing forward. As she entered the second half of her first year of medical school, she set her sights on getting stronger, improving her pull-ups, and even finishing a novel with her writers\u2019 group.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDiet apps have some major potential for abuse and anxiety,\u201d she said. \u201cI really appreciate that MacroFactor makes recommendations that are based in solid science, updates weekly to account for your lifestyle changes, and provides trend data to avoid the frustration that can come with watching the scale go up and down.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We\u2019re Working On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For MacroFactor, <\/strong>we\u2019re working on an improvement to the recipe creation workflow. You\u2019ll soon be able to use photos and text to upload recipe details. This new feature will use the same processes as our AI food logging feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For MacroFactor Workouts, <\/strong>we\u2019re putting the finishing touches on live activities. Live activities on iOS will allow you to see your active set and rest timer on your lock screen, and see your rest timer in your dynamic island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about what we\u2019re working on<\/strong>, check our public roadmap\u200b<\/a> to see our plans for new features and improvements. You can also submit features for consideration and vote on the upcoming features that are the highest priority to you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
