TL;DR: A review of the current dietary survey literature of athletes shows that a typical male athlete achieves CHO intake within the recommended range (on a g/kg basis), and individual athletes may need nutritional education or dietary counselling to fine-tune their eating habits to meet specific CHO intake targets.

TL;DR: These data show significant metabolic adaptations with a brief period of high-fat intake, which persist even after restoration of CHO availability, however, there was no evidence of a clear benefit of fat adaptation to cycling performance.

TL;DR: Compared with a high-CHO diet, fat oxidation during exercise increased after fat-adapt and remained elevated above baseline even after 1 day of a high -CHO diet and increased CHO availability.

TL;DR: Adaptations to a short-term high-fat diet persisted in the face of high CHO availability before and during exercise, but failed to confer a performance advantage during a TT lasting approximately 25 min undertaken after 2 h of submaximal cycling.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of short-term fat adaptation on high-intensity exercise training in seven competitive endurance athletes (maximal O 2 uptake 5.0 0.5 L·min 1, mean SD) was investigated.
