Gingerbread is a good carbohydrate source and at the same time a low fat food. For sure you’ve seen some gingerbread varieties with chocolate or other coating but always remember, many of these coatings are high in fat too. For training it’s best to keep it simple. Also the gingerbread.
Flour and honey provide the muscle with a good amount of carbs. And there are also some healthy spices. Depending on the mix you want to add to your bread, it gives it a nice flavor but also adds a small quantity of antioxidants to it. Don’t exaggerate with the spices, keep the quantity moderate. That’s all it takes for a great gingerbread.
Of course, training goals and intensities are different. That requires different training foods. And we’re using different recipes. I’ve also made one for some extra hard training days and one for recovery. We’ve it all covered!
