[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 531023, member: 74042"] As with all things this is not a definite yes/no. The differences on endurance sport for example are much different to those body builders you mention, who tend to need slightly more (but not a lot) protein, and a bit less carbs. I agree though that they do tend to overdo things, and certainly don't need all of those junk drinks full of caffiene, other stimulants and sugar An endurance athlete tends to need more carbs as they are likely to be depleting reserves after 60-90 mins depending on exertion, some protein for exercise lasting > 2hrs to prevent cannibalisation, elctrolytes help as well. Overall a bit higher protein in the diet. But those who are the typical gym bunnie working moderately for about an hour or so, should be able to cope on nothing more than a bit of water. That obviously does not account for the special cases like us with deranged endocrine systems. [/QUOTE]
